Nou Barris is a district characterised by a social, associative and community fabric that has always strived for the dignity of the place and the people. The project aims to promote the role of local residents as the seed of urban recovery. Moreover, its key position in the area, on the border between Barcelona and Collserola, in the basin of the Canyelles Stream, is the basis for an environmental strategy that connects with the rest of the city’s neighbourhoods. Canyelles will become a driving force for the city at all levels: food, energy, welfare, culture, crafts and thought.
