Transforming Public Spaces for Health: Round Table Discussion

The Placa de les Glories Catalanes has emerged as one of Barcelona's most significant urban projects in recent years, showcasing how public spaces can serve as drivers of well-being, social cohesion, and urban sustainability. This round table aims to facilitate an open discussion among urban planners, architects, and professionals who have actively contributed to the project. Participants will share insights, experiences, and reflections on the transformation process of the square, addressing pertinent issues such as the site's memory, its urban identity, and the challenges future cities face.
