One of the leading American business magazines, CNBC, considers the consolidation project underway in the 22@Barcelona district one of Europe’s top regeneration projects.
The article focuses on Barcelona’s metamorphosis into an international metropolis, which began with the “Romans and culminated by the end of the 19th century with Spain’s greatest concentration of factories in its Poblenou district, which has become an elaborate tech hub with ultramodern architecture”. The article’s author, Rupert Eden, reminds readers that the area once called Catalonia’s Manchester has now become an innovative district housing companies from different sectors like: research and development, media and marketing. CNBC also explains that the 22@Barcelona district “exemplifies Barcelona’s current investment potential”, having already attracted a large number of companies. The article also explains the benefits this regeneration project has brought to the Poblenou neighborhood, which include 30,000 new jobs, 3.2 million m2 of new offices and housing and 114,000 m2 of parks and green areas. Eden emphasizes the importance of the Agbar Tower, which “closely resembles London’s Gherkin”, and praises the innovation district’s location, connections with the rest of the city and proximity to the Diagonal Mar area.
