Present and future of major health infrastructure in the city

Throughout urban history, the construction, expansion, relocation or renovation of hospital facilities have marked key moments in the social and spatial configuration of the city. Their presence has an impact that extends far beyond the healthcare field – hospitals are spaces for research and teaching, economic drivers and agents of territorial transformation.

Moreover, these centres also act as catalysts for the entrepreneurial ecosystem related to science and technology in fields such as health sciences, biomedicine and the pharmaceutical industry, strengthening Barcelona and the surrounding area as one of the leading hubs in Southern Europe in these sectors.The third day of this cycle ends with a guided tour of the VHIR building, Vall d'Hebron Research Institute, a unique space of 16,792 m² dedicated to research, innovation, and teaching.
