Barcelona and the Generalitat create the public company Impulsem Futur Besòs-Maresme

The Plenary of the Municipal Council of the Barcelona City Council approved on November 5, 2026, the initial constitution, together with the Generalitat de Catalunya, of the public commercial company Impulsem Futur Besòs-Maresme, SA, intended for urban rehabilitation and regeneration actions in the Besòs and Maresme neighborhood. The agreement, published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Barcelona on November 6, 2026 (pp. 1-2, CVE 202610167337), authorizes a total expenditure of 49,870,000 euros charged to the 2026 to 2029 budgets and submits the constitution and bylaws to public consultation for thirty business days.

The text is part of file 26XF1300 (EM 2026-10/17) and originates from the collaboration agreement between the Administration of the Generalitat de Catalunya, through the Department of Territory, Housing and Ecological Transition, and the Barcelona City Council, which the same plenary approved to guarantee the economic viability of the company. In addition to the constitution, the agreement initially approves the bylaws and the Shareholders’ Agreement incorporated into the file, and orders the notification to the regional department. The announcement is signed by the general secretary, Jordi Cases i Pallarès.

Besòs i el Maresme, in Sant Martí, is one of the areas where the City Council has already deployed public intervention instruments. The same publication includes several land redistributions derived from the “Declaration of Conservation and Rehabilitation Area at Alfons el Magnànim 40-44, Tessàlia 2-6, Prada 2-12, Sàsser 2-6 and Benevent 2-6 streets”, definitively approved by the Governing Commission on November 3, 2022.

Thirty business days of public consultation

The bylaws will remain available at the municipal electronic headquarters for a period of thirty business days from the day following the publication. Allegations or suggestions may be submitted through these channels:

• In person, at any office of the General Registry of the Barcelona City Council.
• Electronically, through procedure 20100001012 of the municipal virtual office.
• By any of the means permitted by Law 39/2015, of October 1, on the common administrative procedure.

Contributions are addressed to the Directorate of Business Services, Consortia and Foundations of the Budget and Finance Management. If no allegations or suggestions are presented, the constitution agreement and the statutes will be considered definitively approved and the share capital will be disbursed. Likewise, the Governing Commission is authorized to introduce non-substantial modifications to the agreement, the constitution agreement, the statutes, and the shareholders’ agreement, and the Deputy Mayoralty of Urbanism, Climate Action, Mobility, Neighborhood Plan and Urban Services and the Area Management of Urbanism and Housing are empowered to sign the execution documents.

Open land readjustments in the same neighborhood

The processing of the company coincides in time with other urban planning files from Besòs and Maresme published in the same bulletin, all agreed upon by the Governing Commission in the session of October 15, 2026, and subject to one month of public information:

• Economic land readjustment project of PAU 2, property at Epir Street, 6, within the area declared on May 19, 2022 (exp. 26ru318, CVE 202610164157).
• Economic land readjustment project of PAU 8, property at Sàsser Street, 6 (exp. 26ru304, CVE 202610164147).
• Economic land readjustment project of PAU 9, property at Benevent Street, 6 (exp. 26ru368, CVE 202610164152).

The constitution of this public commercial company establishes the financial and legal framework through which the City Council and the Generalitat intend to address the rehabilitation of one of the neighborhoods in Sant Martí most in need of intervention. For the residents, the agreement determines how many resources are committed, in which years, and with which urban planning instruments they will be translated on the ground, and opens a period for allegations before the company is formally constituted.
