Área de conservación y rehabilitación 1: Carrer Pirineus, Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Barcelona = Santa Coloma de Gramenet neighborhood’s conservation and rehabilitation area 1: Carrer Pirineus (Barcelona)

El ambito de actuacion se encuentra en Santa Coloma de Gramenet, municipio ubicado en la provincia de Barcelona, proximo al parque fluvial del rio Besos. La intervencion consiste en la reha-bilitacion de un area que comprende 360 viviendas y 26 locales, que fueron construidas mayoritaria-mente entre 1968 y 1974, anos en los que esta zona crecio de forma desordenada y rapida, creando numerosos problemas urbanisticos. Uno de los objetivos principales de la actuacion ha sido la mejora de la calidad de vida y la salud de los habitantes del barrio, de avanzada edad y con pensiones bajas, que sufren situaciones de pobreza energetica debida a la falta de eficiencia energetica. Para ello, ha sido preciso realizar una intervencion, de caracter publico, que combina diferentes fases en las que ha estado muy presente la mejora del confort del interior de las edificaciones, la identidad y el paisaje urbano. Todo ello acompanado por un proceso complejo de gestion y mediacion entre la administracion local y las comunidades de propietarios para llegar a consensos a nivel de financiacion e inter-vencion. ----------ABSTRACT---------- The intervention area is located in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, a city located in Barcelona province, close to the Besos river park. The project consists of the urban renovation of an area of 360 housing and 26 retail spaces, that were built between 1968 and 1974. Within these years the area experienced a fast and unplanned growth turning into several urban problems. One of the main objec-tives of the intervention was the improvement of the quality of life and health of the inhabitants. They were mainly elderly and with low pensions that suffered in many cases from energy poverty due to the lack of buildings’ energy efficiency. The renovation conducted had to combine different stages in which the improvement of the thermal comfort, the identity and the urban landscape were very present. All these activities were complemented by a complex process of management and mediation between the local administration and homeowner’s associations in order to get consensus for the funding and in-tervention.
