Grants for the refurbishments of residential buildings that satisfy energy efficiency requirements
For a more efficient, more environmentally responsible and more humane neighbourhood
Let’s improve the neighbourhood to make it more sustainable and more efficient
The purpose of the Neighbourhood Restoration Grant Scheme is to finance the carrying out of restoration or refurbishment works to predominantly residential buildings, including single-household buildings and town planning or revised town planning for public spaces within action areas called Residential Environments for Programmed Restoration (ERRP) that have been established in settlements of any population size.
In the same vein, the Municipal Renovation Office (ORM) centrally manages the operation areas of the Neighborhood Plan, within the Programmed Renovation Residential Environments (ERRP)'s call, financed by the European Union-Next GenerationEU.
The following operation areas are included in the Neighborhood Plan:
- Ciutat Vella: El Gòtic Sur, El Raval.
- Sants-Montjuïc: El Poblesec, La Marina del Prat Vermell, La Marina de Port.
- Horta-Guinardó: Sant Genís dels Agudells, La Teixonera, El Carmel, Can Baró.
- Nou Barris: La Trinitat Nova, Ciutat Meridiana, Torre Baró, La Vallbona, Les Roquetes, El Turó de la Peira, Verdun, La Prosperitat.
- Sant Andreu: El Bon Pastor, Baró de Viver, La Trinitat Vella (except Trinitat Vella urban regeneration area).
- Sant Martí: La Verneda, La Pau (except La Pau urban regeneration area), El Besòs and Maresme (except SO Besos urban regeneration area).
On the other hand, a centralized management office is established for the urban regeneration operation areas: the Regeneration Office. The operation areas at neighborhood level are the following ones:
- Besos-Maresme
- Canyelles
- Trinitat Vella
- Can Peguera
- La Pau
- Congress-Indians
The Regeneration Office is located at Calle Bolivia, 250 (Provençals del Poblenou). You can also contact them by email inforegeneraciourbana@bcn.cat, and you will receive a response within in the next 72 hours at the most.
