Vacant stalls next to the Teatre Principal: demolition plans raise questions

Answer

How can the Plaça Major redevelopment support residents and everyday life rather than just visitors?

Critics suggest concrete safeguards to keep the space meaningful for locals. Proposals include binding quotas for local, independent businesses with capped rents for the first ten years, a municipal operator for the interpretation centre, and rules ensuring access for residents. There should also be governance that democratically manages cultural use and avoids spaces turning into transient showrooms.
