Existing Areas
Comparing the Use-Maps we were able to identify 5 big areas regarding their urban Programm. There is a edu- cation-area with two new schools, An industrial „wor- king“ area, a bar and music area with different a varie- ty of pubs to go to, a cul- tural area with a theater and music-shows and also a market-area where people can get fresh food daily.
Our concept was therefor to connect and strengthen these different areas, by one li- near citycenter, that could easily be layed into the streets of Poublenou.
Development Areas
For each area, we found a development site. The- se sites will be developed over time and will be part of the „space-for-all“ con- cept. It will be buildings and landscapes that are ge- nerally open for the public and improve the existing in- frastructure. The areas can also be seen as gamechan- gers, they will attract more people and activate the tape further. Of course we also analyzed the smaller sites inside the blocks and found that there is plenty of not used space, These spaces also don‘t really belong to the inhabitants, s2ince they are halfprivate and therefo- re not really used.

different Scales
In order to use all the space in Poublenou, we deci- ded to make changes on three different scales. The „L“ being the very basic idea of the city-tape, „M“ beeing the connection and enlogment of the Tape into the cour- tyards of the city and „S“ being the courtyards and in- divual citycenters themself,
