You didn’t want ‘superilla’, so two cupsalthough if there is no coffee, a substitute may serve. Ada Colau has promised this Monday to extend the ‘superilla’ model for Barcelona during the next term to another 20 points, although the announced forecast would exceed the period 2023-2027: they will be finished in 2030 in points of the 10 districts of the city.
The Deputy Mayor for Urban Planning, Janet Sanzher right-hand man on these issues, and the mayoress and candidate for re-election, have outlined a plan of advance at least somewhat questionablefor which heThe city will win 20 green axes in the next term more, which would be added to the 21 planned in the Eixample. in purity, only six of the operations are new.

there is controversy on whether the green axes are ‘superilles’, but it is clear that they have been inserted within the ‘Superilla Barcelona’ model.
