El Prat de Llobregat urban development
The master plan for the area between the city of Barcelona, the airport and El Prat studies the industrial area constrained by motorways, railways, metro lines and the river. The land between the city and the north has long been cut off by large-scale transit infrastructures, making it difficult to access. The project’s design fuses the new development areas with the 19th-century fabric of the old city, supported by new underground roads and rail links.
The result includes a new seventy-hectare metropolitan park connected to the riverbed of the Llobregat and the river delta landscape. The programme includes office buildings, business and commercial spaces, sports facilities, and 5000 homes. It aims to rearrange the metropolitan area by integrating old and new infrastructure, giving back visibility to El Prat’s landscape, and creating a new park at the southern entrance to Barcelona.
