Hereu called the transformation currently underway in the neighborhood of Poblenou the “third revolution in the economic structure of the city of Barcelona.” Jordi William Carnes defined it as a show of “quality urban planning.”

The last stop was the Necso block, located between Agricultura, Josep Pla, Cristòbal de Moura and Venezuela Streets, where the mayor was able to witness the result of the transformation process led by 22@Barcelona in a block where companies, subsidized housing, green areas, facilities and infrastructures co-exist. Finally, the mayor concluded that Barcelona “chose wisely” with the 22@Barcelona project. “This process is irreversible and unstoppable. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s finished but that we’re half-way through.”
