The Collserola Natural Park is a major peri-urban natural area overlooking Barcelona, covering approximately 11,000 hectares across nine municipalities and playing a key role in biodiversity conservation and climate regulation.
Montjuïc is a prominent urban hill in Barcelona that functions as a major green and cultural space, offering extensive parks, gardens, and panoramic views while contributing to urban biodiversity and providing accessible recreational areas for residents and visitors.
Barcelona’s coastline is a distinctive urban waterfront that combines beaches, promenades, coastal parks, and marine habitats. It plays a key role in enhancing urban resilience, supporting biodiversity, and providing high-quality public spaces for recreation, environmental education, and everyday contact with nature.
Barcelona’s Green Axes are a network of pedestrian-priority streets designed to increase urban greenery, improve biodiversity, and create healthier, more liveable public spaces. Transformations such as Consell de Cent, Girona, Rocafort and Comte Borrell have replaced traffic-dominated streets with tree-lined corridors featuring permeable surfaces, sustainable drainage systems, resting areas, and spaces for social interaction.
Barcelona’s Municipal Urban Allotment Network consists of 15 allotment gardens distributed across the city’s ten districts. Since its creation in 1997, the network has promoted organic food production, environmental awareness, and community engagement by providing plots to older residents and non-profit organisations. The allotments contribute to urban biodiversity, create valuable green spaces, and strengthen local resilience through sustainable land management.
