Glasgow - City to City Barcelona FAD Award 2013

"Cities are faced daily with problems, conflicts, challenges and new scenarios that require exemplary responses and solutions. In a context like the current one, where innovative ideas and entrepreneurial attitudes are crucial when it comes to improving the quality of life of cities, the FAD organises the City to City Barcelona FAD Award". http://fad.cat/citytocity/4/en/?page_id=2

Stalled Spaces


(Glasgow// 600.000 inhab., United Kingdom) Unit

In Glasgow the current crisis is added to the industrial decline of recent decades. The result is a large number of empty sites in the city. Without any prospects of productive use for these spaces, Glasgow City Council promotes the temporary use of the sites, as they are a major tool for urban regeneration and social empowerment. The project has already filled 50 empty spaces with a wide variety of uses.
