When the 22@ Barcelona plan was approved, the infrastructure network in the Poblenou industrial area was clearly insufficient. For this reason, the project has created a new Special Infrastructure Plan that allows for urban improvements on 37 kilometers of streets in the 22@Barcelona district with highly competitive utility infrastructures. The new Infrastructure Plan calls for an investment of more than 180 million euros and allows for the implementation of a modern network of energy, telecommunications, district heating and pneumatic refuse and waste collection systems. The design of these new networks gives priority to energy efficiency and responsible management of natural resources. The Special Infrastructure Plan is run by the 22@ Barcelona municipal company, which coordinates the different utility companies participating in the process.
