Objetivo Barcelona: An agenda for the future

What will the world be like in 2050? Large cities are already preparing for the future with long-term strategic plans designed to make them world leaders in the coming decades. What do we want the Barcelona of 2050 to look like? The city is already a global benchmark, but it needs to undertake new projects and address challenges related to inequality, climate change and accessibility in order to grow, create opportunities for all those who live in Barcelona, and remain at the top of the global city rankings.

Barcelona must make changes as it always has done in the past and must focus on talent and on being a well-connected, sustainable, innovative city in permanent interaction with other international hubs. But all this requires a clear agenda for the future, along with plenty of enthusiasm and ambition.
