The Park has a new Urban Development Master Plan
On last December 22, the new Urban Development Master Plan (PDU in Catalan) of the Parc de l’Alba / Barcelona Synchrotron Park was definitively approved.
The aim of this PDU is to offer a new modern regulatory framework, especially adapted to the location of innovative companies and research centers next to the campus of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, within the territory of the Vallès, and the creation of a new city space that is cohesive with the existing one: a park to live and work. All this, while recovering, preserving and enhancing at the same time the natural spaces located within its area, with a commitment to sustainability: large green areas, biological connectors, soil recovery and improved mobility.
The Parc de l’Alba is a 408-hectare public park - a consortium between the Catalan government and the Cerdanyola City Council - with 3 areas for 3 missions:
• Attracting innovative companies around the ALBA synchrotron, in the business area known as Barcelona Synchrotron Park (1.39 million m2 of floor area).
• Creating a new residential neighborhood (5,377 apartments, 47% of which corresponding to social housing).
• Protecting biodiversity in the green areas that represent 41% of the 408 hectares.
