The plan was drawn up with the participation of citizens, organi- zations, municipal technical staff and representatives of all the political groups of Barcelona City Council, under the leadership of the office of the Deputy Mayor and the Department of Quality of Life, Equality and Sport of Barcelona City Council.

Publication coordination: Department of Communication. March 2013 Xavier Trias Alcalde de Barcelona My main priority as mayor is to continue to make Barcelona a city of people and for people. A city that leaves no one behind, especially in these difficult times. A city that takes care of its most vulnerable groups and that fights to prevent social fracture. This is my firm commitment and this is the will of the current team of the municipal government. The impact of the economic crisis on the quality of life of Barcelona's residents de- mands rapid, efficient and united responses from us, via the authorities and civil so- ciety, under the leadership of the City Council. Above all, the crisis demands prevention and anticipation. Because many people and families are living in situations of poverty that are not structural. Not only are we see- ing an increase in the vulnerability of population sectors that were already below the 3 poverty threshold, but these are now joined by families and individuals not previously at risk of exclusion, because some or all the members are unemployed. Quality of Life, Equality and Sport As a result of our commitment, we present the 2012-2015 Barcelona Social Inclusion Plan for Social Plan. A plan that was the result of a wide-ranging process of participation, in the fra- Inclusion of Barcelona 2012-2015 mework of the Citizens’ Agreement for an Inclusive Barcelona, with the involvement of organizations from the tertiary sector, with the Social Welfare Council and the pro- fessionals of the different departments of Barcelona City Council. I am fully convinced that Barcelona has the strength and the potential to overcome these difficult moments. We have active and supportive citizens, with a rich fabric of associations, who want to take part in the daily life of the city, and a capable, profes- sional and committed city council. I have no doubt that this plan, which will be carried out with the involvement of civil society and the organizations of the tertiary sector, will be a highly valuable tool for improving the quality of life of the people of Barcelona, by reducing social inequality and achieving equal opportunities. It is an authentic city plan to make Barcelona a more inclusive and cohesive city. 4 Quality of Life, Equality and Sport Barcelona Social Inclusion Plan for 2012-2015 Maite Fandos i Payà Tinenta d’alcalde de Qualitat de Vida, Igualtat i Esports Barcelona is and has been a reference in inclusion policies. Nevertheless, the econo- mic situation of Europe today is having a considerable effect on the different social groups of the city, particularly among the most vulnerable. In this context, Barcelona needs to address the important challenges it faces by leveraging its assets, streng- ths and potential. The 2012-2015 Barcelona Social Inclusion Plan has thus been designed to be the main instrument for formulating a comprehensive, unified and effective response from the whole city – as opposed to solely from the City Council. Its aim is to set new goals and innovative strategic lines for the future, in addition to specific actions to meet short-term needs effectively. It is also the basic municipal instrument for buil- ding an inclusive and cohesive city. 5 It was drawn up in a broad framework and a rich participative process that has cul- minated in a document that sets out 88 objectives and 183 actions. Quality of Life, Equality and Sport The resulting document has two parts: the first develops the conceptual framework Plan for Social and makes a diagnosis of the city's current situation, while the second sets out the Inclusion of Barcelona 2012-2015 guiding principles of the inclusion policy, defines its strategic lines and details the necessary actions to be carried out. The document also specifies the tools and ins- truments that will be used to build this cohesive city and details the procedure for implementing the Plan's actions across the city. Lastly, it describes the strategy that will be adopted for roll-out and monitoring. The almost 90 objectives of the Plan are grouped into four strategic lines, which co- ver the actions to be carried out by the Council overall (lines I and II), the actions relating to Quality of Life, Equality and Sport (line III). The plan contains a fourth strategic line (line IV) proposed by the Citizens’ Agreement for an Inclusive Barcelona, with objectives and actions that will be carried out by civil society, particularly by the tertiary sector of social action. Thus, the plan becomes fully part of the city, as it brings together municipal actions and actions of the tertiary sector, and is an exercise of joint responsibility and mutual commitment between the city council and civil society, rolling out a shared strategy that will make it possible to successfully take on the challenges of inclusion. The Citizen Agreement for an Inclu- sive Barcelona is particularly relevant as a point of reference and constitutes a key partner in the shared definition of the strategy to implement the Plan. The proposals contained in this document aim to consolidate Barcelona as a city committed to the defence of the rights of its citizens, to the fight against social in- equality and in favour of effective equal opportunities.

  • Bolstering Community Ties and Its Effect on Crime
    Bolstering community ties and its effect on crime: Evidence from a quasi-random experiment Magdalena Dom´ınguez and Daniel Montolio∗ Work in progress - Do not cite without permission This version: February 2019 Abstract In this paper we study the effect of bolstering community ties on local crime rates. To do so, we take advantage of the quasi-random nature of the implementation of a community health policy in the city of Barcelona. Salut als Barris (BSaB) is a policy that through community-based initiatives and empowerment of citizenship aims at improving health outcomes and reducing inequalities of the most disadvantaged neighborhoods. Based on economic and sociological literature it is also arguable that it may affect other relevant variables for overall welfare, such as crime rates. In order to test such a hypothesis, we use monthly data at the neighborhood level and a staggered Differences-in-Differences approach. Overall we find that BSaB highly reduces crimes related to non-cognitive features as well as those where there is a very close personal link (labeled as home crimes), with responses ranging from 9% to 18%. Additionally, female victimization rates drop for all age groups as well as the offense rates of younger cohorts. We argue that such outcomes are due to stronger community ties. Such results provide evidence in favor of non-traditional crime preventing policies. Keywords: crime; community action; differences-in-differences. JEL codes: C23, I18, I28, J18. ∗Dept. of Economics, University of Barcelona and IEB: [email protected] ; [email protected] We are grateful to Elia Diez and Maribel Pasarin at the Barcelona Public Health Agency (ASPB) and IGOP researchers Raquel Gallego and Ernesto Morales at Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) for their insightful comments on the program.

  • Neighborhoods, Perceived Inequality, and Preferences for Redistribution: Evidence from Barcelona∗
    Neighborhoods, Perceived Inequality, and Preferences for Redistribution: Evidence from Barcelona∗ JOB MARKET PAPER Gerard Domènech-Arumí† First Version: October 2020 This Version: April 2, 2021 Click here for the most recent version Abstract I study the effects of neighborhoods on perceived inequality and preferences for redistri- bution. Using administrative data on the universe of dwellings and real estate transactions in Barcelona (Spain), I first construct a novel measure of local inequality — the Local Neigh- borhood Gini (LNG). The LNG is based on the spatial distribution of housing within a city, independent of administrative boundaries, and building-specific. I then elicit inequality per- ceptions and preferences for redistribution from an original large-scale survey conducted in Barcelona. I link those to respondents’ specific LNG and local environments using exact ad- dresses, observed in the survey. Finally, I identify the causal effects of neighborhoods using two different approaches. The first is an outside-the-survey quasi-experiment that exploits within-neighborhood variation in respondents’ recent exposure to new apartment buildings. The second is a within-survey experiment that induces variation in respondents’ information set about inequality across neighborhoods. I find that local environments significantly influence inequality perceptions but only mildly affect demand for redistribution. Keywords: Inequality, Gini, Redistribution, Housing JEL Codes: D31, D63, O18 ∗I want to especially thank my main PhD advisor, Daniele Paserman,

  • Themes Barcelona Art Factories
    Main themes Barcelona Art Factories – Old industrial spaces, new cultural uses Sub themes Urban regeneration through CCI Decentralising the cultural offer to city districts Places to be visited 1 Barcelona Art Factories – Old industrial spaces, new cultural uses Barcelona City Council’s Culture Institute set up the Art Factories programme in 2007 to expand the city’s network of public facilities designed to support cultural creation and production. Many of these facilities are former factory buildings that have been refitted for use by artists, cultural agents and organisations involved in promoting creation. The Art Factories help strengthen the city’s networks and enrich its cultural fabric and aspire to become benchmark centres creating new discourses and contents based on excellence and quality. The spaces included in the Barcelona Art Factory programme are: Fabra i Coats. Graner. La Seca. La Escocesa. La Caldera. La Central del Circ. L'Ateneu Popular 9 Barris. Hangar. Sala Beckett/Obrador. Nau Ivanow. 2 WHAT IS IT? The Art Factories programme is based on transforming disused spaces into new powerhouses of culture and knowledge. The goal is to put creativity, knowledge and innovation at the heart of the city’s policies. Launched by Barcelona City Council’s Culture Institute, the project meets a longstanding demand by creators and collectives for spaces equipped for artistic creation and research. The Art Factories are therefore ideal spaces for cultural innovation and production. The end goal is to see culture as one of the city’s strategic assets as it develops its economic, social and urban aspects, as well as boosting its inhabitants’ creativity.

Abstract During the last real estate cycle most of the countries have experienced a housing bubble linked to the expansion of credit, increasing residential values dramatically. Despite the globalization of financial markets, this increase has not had the same impact on all the countries concerned. For this reason, this research analyzes the spatial variation in property values during this period in the case of the city of Barcelona. From the hypothesis that the areas where the population lives with lower qualifications and general education, and in particular financial education, these areas have had more variation in residential values in relation to those areas inhabited by well- off population. Additionally, these historically disadvantaged areas have been the culmination of the extra-EU immigration, which has incentive the dynamics of the real estate market. To test this hypothesis, it is carried out a descriptive analysis of the evolution of scale multifamily values districts and neighborhoods, as well as an econometric analysis to explain this variation.
