An international jury has asked the Dutch architect Kees Kaan to design a new neighbourhood on the outskirts of Barcelona.
Solar panels for cooling
Although Central Prat will contain 5,000 houses, a large park, two underground stations, hotels and restaurants, it will still be first and foremost a green neighbourhood. The apartment buildings will have green inner courtyards and roofs. Solar panels on the roofs will provide heating and cooling. A 70-hectare park - which will cover roads and railway tracks - will arise along the Llobregat river.
It is not yet possible to buy an apartment in the new neighbourhood. The Dutch architect expects that it will take around 20 years before the entire project is completed. "However, the first concrete results will be visible in five years."
