The councillor for Nou Barris, Xavier Marcé, defends the municipal government's investment in the district and denies that there is a division between the centre and the periphery. He made this statement at the opening of the Trobades d'Economia de Nou Barris.
The sixth edition of the Trobades d'Economia de Nou Barris kicked off with a message from the district councillor, Xavier Marcé, who called for discussing the economy from the neighbourhood with the same naturalness as is done in other places. He cited examples such as S'Agaró in Girona and the centre of Barcelona.
Marcé argued that the city is facing a global ecosystem in which Nou Barris fits perfectly to develop its economy. He mentioned infrastructures such as the Parc Tecnològic and the commitment to vocational training.
“Discussing the economy from Nou Barris with the normality that is done in other places”
This year's sessions focus on local commerce, within the framework of the European Capital of Local Commerce that Barcelona holds in 2026. The programme is structured around three lines of reflection.
The panels will address the relationship between local commerce and performance commerce, the specialisation as a possible way out for the district's commerce, and strategies to attract investment to Nou Barris. Marcé hopes that the debates will generate dialogue in the district's commercial axes.
