Ecological and social reconquest

Located between the districts of Horta-Guinardó and Gràcia in Barcelona is a large natural space of more than 100 hectares that includes the hills of Creueta del Coll, El Carmel, and La Rovira. It is one of the city’s green lungs, but it is currently in a high state of degradation that puts its environmental value at risk.

The proposal focuses on three main themes: paths and uses, water cycle, and ecology. It seeks to rationalize the network of paths by establishing a clear hierarchy that makes orientation easier and offers a variety of landscape experiences; to promote sustainable rainwater management; and to improve the ecological condition of the area in ways that support greater biodiversity of species and ecosystems.

    A park
    of great ecological value
    for the use and enjoyment
    of citizens

    The goal of the landscape proposal is to establish a park with a contemporary conception, intended for durability and with low maintenance costs. A park of great ecological value for the use and enjoyment of citizens.

    A first intervention on the small Can Bech mound has served as a pilot test to evaluate a methodology and a type of intervention based on feasibility, resilience, and minimal investment and maintenance. In a short time, the applied actions have led to an ecological reconquest of the site, managing to modulate and control disturbances, improving biodiversity, water cycle management, and the perception by neighbors that Tres Turons is a space of great environmental value that must be preserved.
