Barcelona (Spain): new transport links for reaching new uses

To advance the implementation of port-city redevelopment projects, plans for improving access to the port must always consider the local urban mobility plans. This must include plans for the transport of people and goods, as well as all different modes of transportation. Planners should be familiar with existing construction bylaws covering roads shared by both port and urban transport (width of roadways, dimensions of traffic circles, etc.), the possibility of expanding or separating each transport mode, technological solutions for real-time management of traffic flows, etc. In Barcelona, the port’s strategic plan ensures consistency between urban mobility plans and port connections by creating a strategic plan in collaboration with Catalonia Government.
