La Marina del Prat Vermell
The transformation of the Marina del Prat Vermell and its surroundings is one of the great projects that the city will face in the immediate future. It is a long-term development plan and therefore the management and monitoring of its implementation will be of vital importance in the context of a strategic vision such as the one proposed in the Coastal Plan.
The strategic and management instruments that regulate the transformation process in the area formed by the La Marina neighbourhoods should have an impact on the connection and integration of the area with its surroundings, in addition to promoting social and spatial cohesion and participative development. A full road map should also be proposed, for both the short and long term, in order to guarantee urban management adapted to the reality of the territory in such fundamental issues as habitat, the quality of the urban areas, and the connection of the area with the surrounding areas and the coastline.
