Resum

How can new public spaces be created out of derelict urban spaces in times of austerity? The city of Barcelona, in Spain, faced the challenges of urban planning at a time of economic crisis. Following the trend in other countries, in 2012 a new project focused on citizen participation started, called Pla BUITS (Buits Urbans amb Implicació Territorial i Social-Empty Urban Spaces with Social and Territorial Involvement). Pla BUITS aimed at re-using empty spaces throughout the city, in order to improve citizens’ quality of life. Public and private non-profit organizations (varying from charities to residents’ associations and parents’ organizations) but, also, individuals were encouraged to propose a use or activity and temporary management for the period of one year (extendible to three). Examples were community gardens, art installations, community dining rooms, and bikes garages. In other words, Pla BUITS invited neighborhood entities to co-manage abandoned parcels, and as such is a way to make citizens co-responsible for the public environment they are living in.
