Anna Bordas i Roca — Cap d’Àmbit de la Direcció d’Anàlisi Estratègica, INCASÓL 1. WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF THE SITE MUTATION?
We want to regenerate the existing entrance taking advantage of the new development. It has to connect the existing urban nucleuses that cannot be disconnected from the existing centre and its activity. There has to be a good connection between the new developing and the existing industry, especially if the new proposal contains economic activity and industry. It should give the opportunity to regenerate and impulse the existing activities in the area. A compatible use with the new planning should be given to Masia Can Molins. The new sector should offer equipment that is strong enough to consolidate the area and attract the population. A productive city has been assumed as a need for the new development that the city economic activity can offer. The relation with the surroundings is an important issue, as it is placed in a forest area and a stream crosses the site. The economic viability of the project is also of course an important issue. 138
2. HOW CAN THE SITE BE INTEGRATED IN THE ISSUES OF PRODUCTIVE CITIES? HOW DO YOU CONSIDER THE PRODUCTIVITY ISSUE?
The city council wants not only a supply of new housing, but also of job offer and economic activity. At the same time, as a result, it can regenerate the existing industrial areas. A good resolution of this goal supports the economic viability of the development, and the energy the sector needs to be developed. 3. HAVE YOU ALREADY DEFINED A SPECIFIC PROCESS FOR THE URBAN AND/OR ARCHITECTURAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE AFTER EUROPAN COMPETITION?
Today, the aspects that are important appear clearer to us, as well as some of the alternatives that we would like to develop further. That is why we will give these goals to the winning team to work on a future general plan modification and its development. In the correct moment, we want to process the Urban Planning Development to guarantee the fastest approval by the Municipality and the Autonomous Government.
