Comprehensive Maintenance Plan (PMI in Catalan)

Working to ensure that public spaces function properly. We monitor the obsolescence of installations and tend to the busiest spaces to avoid incidents and deterioration. Members of the public help us by telling us about the specific needs of their neighbourhood.

The Pla Endreça includes the Comprehensive Maintenance Plan (PMI) and the Comprehensive Renovation Plan (PRI) to work in these areas. It has a budget of 435 million euros, 180 million directly managed by district offices for maintaining and renovating the streets in worst repair.

Actions in the districts

Furthermore, we are constantly undertaking:

  • Reparació

    Repairs

    Repairs include unplanned maintenance operations that are carried out when an incident is detected in public spaces. Action is taken to provide a rapid response.

  • Transformació

    Transformations

    These are carried out where there is an intense need for renovation, new uses have to be defined, and it is therefore necessary to redevelop the space.

    When city transformation projects are designed, we take into account the fact that subsequent maintenance should be as effective as possible.
