The objective is to create an area that comprises residential and economic activities; to build the town s new frontage to both the C-32 motorway and the agricultural park, and to reconnect the adjacent urban fabric by establishing a residential area adjacent to Bonaventura Calopa street, as well as an economic activity area. This would act as a new façade to the C-32 motorway, developing residential, hospitality and economic activity, ranging from industrial to tertiary uses, as well as offices. Planning approved 15 km 9 km Gavà has developed a new sector located northwest of the Els Joncs economic district, aimed at boosting green and sustainable residential growth. Pla de Ponent consists of an area of 186 hectares, with the capacity to build 4,896 new apartments.

13 Els Joncs Can Gavarrot Ca n Alemany Els Joncs is located in the municipality of Gavà and covers a total area of 80 hectares. The sector is located around one of the gateways to the city, at the intersection of the C-234 and C-32 motorways. It is a large area between the railway line from Barcelona to the south and the B-210 dual carriageway road. The aim is to expand the space currently used for economic activity into what is currently used for agricultural land. For this reason, the urban plan for the sector, which is geared towards economic activity, establishes only one classification, with predominantly industrial, logistics, tertiary and office uses. Planning approved 22 km 10 km Located on the western edge of Sant Boi de Llobregat, Can Gavarrot covers an area of 32 hectares. It sits at the point where residential and industrial land converge and is a segue to the forestland, a factor which adds environmental value to the plot. Due to its location, it acts as a hinge between the Camps Blancs neighbourhood, the industrial estates of Fonollar Nord, Salas and Abat Oliba, as well as providing access to the Garraf-Ordal mountain range. The development objectives involve planning this section of the town s frontage and promoting a mixture of uses that complement and interact with both residential and industrial land, including industry, tertiary, office and residential uses. Planning in progress 16 km 8 km Ca n Alemany Park is a strategic location with a direct connection to El Prat International Airport and the Port of Barcelona, very close to the Barcelona Trade Fair Center and the Zona Franca, a large reserve of land for economic activities, located in the heart of a transport network in continuous development which allows easy access.
