This final project discusses renewal and upgrading of the area of Prim. It is
discussed how this industrial area can be an attractive neighborhood with a
varied range of services and commercial trade.
Prim is located 2km north-east of the center of Barcelona. The area boarders to
a deep railway valley that historically has separated Prim from its neighboring
districts. At present there is almost no housing, services or commercial trade
within the area and the industry is discontinued or the existing industrial
buildings are derelict. There is also a lack of green recreational areas. Prim
is ripe for redevelopment since the municipality of Barcelona is planning to
cover the
existing railway tracks and build a new train and bus station between the
districts. The new station and the covering of the railway lines is a part of
the municipality?s future high-speed train project (El AVE). The train is
expected to pass Barcelona and Prim by the year 2012 starting
in Sevilla/Malaga via Madrid continuing north to Paris.
The proposal is preceded by inventory and two analyses: Realistisk Byanalyse
and a SWOT-analysis.
On the basis of these analyses, areas were identified as the prime needs in the
future development of Prim. These elements were: green environments, ecological
sustainability, safety and security. These aspects were divided between the
authors, by individual interests, into separate segments and makes up the basis
for the joint proposal.
