PROBLEM ANALYSIS
Problem Tree
A Torre Baró disassociated from the
city of Barcelona
Low densityPoorly
constructed self-built housing
Scarce and deficient
infrastructure
Lack of public spaces and
services
Poor connections to the rest of the
city
Rigid laws and standards for the
provision of services
Land tenure insecurity
Relative low urban
development
Weak areas and urban
space
Weak Governance
LOW QUALITY OF LIFE
Spontaneaus settlements
Lack of urban planning
(Illegal) Land Occupation
MISMANAGED URBANIZATION OF THE POPULATION
Problem Analysis
Objective Tree
A Torre Baró integrated to the city of Barcelona
higher density Improved housing
Efficient infrastructure
Public spaces and services
Strong connections to
the city
Flexible laws and standards,
adequate to the context
Land tenure security
High urban development
Strong Urban Space
Strong Governance
HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE
Controlled settlements
Comprehensive urban planning
Regular land occupation
WELL MANAGED URBANIZATION OF THE POPULATION

Unique identity•Geographic•TypologicalAvailability of land
• Sudden introduction of an external megaproject
• Mismanaged increase of density, speculation, gentrification
• Introduction of new typology forces rearrangement of space -> loss of uniqueness
• Missing the opportunity of catching the Tower / Observatory’s visitors
• Not very well connected to the rest of the city.
• Layout of the neighborhood as a disadvantage (infrastructure and services provision)
• The Gate of Collserola• Room to grow wisely (strategic densification) • Interesting disposition
of space to play with.• The Tower and the
Observatory of the city

From our analysis…
It relates to decisions that define expectations, grant power, or verify performance. Consistent management, cohesive policies, guidance, processes and decision-rights.
Addresses the continuum in which objects and events occur and have relative position and direction.The systematic framework that humans use to structure all experiences. (I.Kant)
Features land use, planning, zoning, density, environmental and transportation planning.Incorporates economics, design, ecology, sociology, geography, laws and politics.

• Flexibility in the standards of services provision. Bear with the expenses until higher density evens expenditure in Torre Baró and the rest of BCN
• Forest areas (sector 3) and other strategic spots: Right of pre-emption. Avoidance of speculation
• Law to estimulate productive use of the land. Empty plots and houses should not remain as such for a period longer than 5 years* or has to be sold to the municipality.
• Local experts. Managers of the specific areas of the community: Improvement of community-government communication Favela Barrio Case Study

The Proposal
Phases Estimated period of timeDesign, Planning year 1 year 2 year 3 year 4 year 5… Meetings, consultations,…
Adjust the legal framework (right of pre-emption, revised building standard, land use,…)
Presenting the idea of the “Snakes and Laders approach” to the Neighbors’ Association and local leaders to define the community contribution and participation.
Implementation Plots clearance
Build new staircases connecting streets in different levels
Introduce common spaces, playgrounds,…
Introduce elements of the ““Snakes and Laders approach”
Open streets in order to establish a road circuit
Construction of new blocks in the current residential areas
Introduction of the “balloon”
Introduce informative elements of possible routes (Colserolla Park, Tower, Baloon, Bars,…)
Construction of new blocks in the hill, connecting Torre Baro and Ciudat Meridiana
Introduce a mini bus route
Intervention in the valley and aqueduct connected to a green network
Introduce a new program in Torre Baro and/or in Valbona (FabLab)
Spontaneous new interventions from the residents
Maintenance
Residents maintain areas near their plots and common areas
Government keep providing regular services and maintenance
Through Neighborhood's Association, select a local manager to support the District’s Council
Regulate and stimulate the establishment of workshops (carpentry, mechanics, welding,…)
Through the participation of existent associations and clubs in the improvements of the neighborhood, promote empowerment and share responsibilities with government
The new program introduced (FabLab,…) supports and finance activities

Risk Mitigation• Sudden introduction of
an external megaproject
• Mismanaged increase of density, speculation, gentrification
• Introduction of new typology forces rearrangement of space -> loss of uniqueness
• Missing the opportunity of catching the Tower / Observatory’s visitors
• Strengthen the neighborhood before introducing “The Gates of Collserola” Internal development
• Controlled and strategic increase of density. Right of pre-emption
• Enforcement of the original public space and typology. Growth adapts to it.
• Torre Baró is attractive enough to catch their own visitors (and the Tower’s)
