Sustainable City - Barcelona
Posted in Models, Movements, Visions by fedwards on July 13th, 2007
A story by Adrian Muller on Worldchanging discusses the environmental pros of this Spanish city. For a taste of the article read the extract below.
“Across the world, Barcelona is widely recognized as a best practice example for city planning and management, urban solutions, environmental programs, preservation/growth of green areas, transportation and regeneration. This model has repeatedly received different international awards and has been replicated in different cities. Throughout this article, which will be published in two parts, we will look at the different tools, models and ideas that have made Barcelona one of the European cities with the best quality of life, and a place where living green is convenient to citizens.”
The article then discusses aspects of transport and waste disposal. At the end of the post are peoples’ comments, which further elaborate on the positive and negatives features of this city. For the full story, check out the WorldChanging website here.
