Pla Litoral

The integration of the Llevant seafront into the city and also into the logic of the coastal areas, the largest public space in the city, is undoubtedly one of the great tasks remaining to complete the opening of the city to the sea.

The project integrates these challenges and determines the transformation of the area of the esplanade and the seafront of the platform into a large linear park open to the sea that stretches from the Pavelló de la Mar Bella to the Fòrum. The idea is to promote a green environment of comfort and quality through the naturalisation of the space, thus reactivating a new model of linking the city with its coastline.

The main objectives are to generate a large public space in a natural environment and to establish a key element of the green infrastructure. The key aspects of the project are the continuity of Passeig Marítim, the longitudinal and transversal connectivity of spaces, the permeability with the urban fabric and an active backshore. It also creates a space that allows citizens to get closer to maritime culture and the legitimate uses of the sea, the naturalisation of infrastructures, the establishment of a green corridor and coastal resilience against the effects of climate change.

The project differentiates three areas with specific characteristics, which it deals with in an integrated manner: the eastern seafront, the Bac de Roda gate and slope and their surroundings, and the marine platform (only the section of the seafront esplanade of this platform).
