    Restoring Vilafranca del Penedès - a transfer story from Catalonia

    Jordi Cuyàs reports on the transfer within the ALT/BAU network and on the cooperation with another URBACT Good Practice in Vilafranca del Penedès. The story begins back in 1979.

    With the re-establishment of democracy and the first free municipal elections in 1979, Vilafranca del Penedès, like the rest of the country, was able to face up to the resolution of the basic problems of the city, such as education, hospital care, improvement of the historical and commercial centre.

    We are always speaking about the main 5 pillars of Vilawatt project: a local energy governance structure; green energy supply; new local currency, new training and assessment services, and increase of retrofitting works. However, political consensus is clearly one additional pillar that we have to keep in mind, as it will be crucial for our project’s success.
