Bon Pastor (Barcelona) A neighbourhood with a future? What future?
(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2023) Remesar Antoni; Vergel Javier
Bon Pastor is a neighbourhood located north of Barcelona that since the beginning 2000s, has undergone an important process of urban and social transformation. They wedged the neighbourhood between several industrial estates, with large plots awaiting transformation processes. One of them was La Maquinista which transformed the industrial site into a shopping centre and a residential complex with nearly 2,000 inhabitants, now to be expanded with the construction of 500 more homes. Right now, the turn has come for the Mercedes-Benz site, where it is intended to build 1,450 homes and introduce industrial 4.0 activities. Both operations mean an increase of up to 5,000 people, breaking the population balance between the ‘old Bon Pastor’ (a neighbourhood with origins in the 1920s) and the ‘New Bon Pastor’ labelled as ‘A new district of Barcelona’ by the press. In parallel, the 'old Bon Pastor' suffered a residential transformation promoted by the neighbours with a substitution of a group of social houses built in 1929 for new sustainable housing. New residents suppose a rupture in the economic and social structure of the neighbourhood given the difference in income already existing today, which places the old neighbourhood in a zone of vulnerability.
