"El Cor del Besòs'' proposes a model for territorial transformation based on the resilience of the river landscape. The river park becomes a meeting place for the neighbourhoods on both sides of the river, currently separated by the car infrastructure. The two riverbanks are interwoven and renovated by relying on the existing system of streets and bridges, making room for nature and people. The strategy materialises in the transformation of the Gran Via-Besòs junction, with an intermodal station and a metropolitan park as the heart of the proposal.
