Barcelona Strategic Plan for Culture

The city of Barcelona has been in the last decade promoting itself and making its own path as a European capital of culture, by situating culture as one of the principal elements in the development and projection of the city, through the running of municipal facilities and cultural services and by promoting and facilitating the emergence and consolidation of the numerous private-sector cultural platforms and projects in the city. This central objective is based on the Strategic Plan for the city's culture sector and is embodied in the following specific actions:

  • To consolidate culture as a basic strategy in the development of the city of knowledge
  • To assist Barcelona in becoming a centre for the production of cultural content
  • To support popular and traditional culture, and the activities of Barcelona's cultural associations
  • To complete and remodel the city's network of heritage facilities and improve the effectiveness of these
  • To promote the educational dimension of culture
  • To facilitate the incorporation of the cultural sectors into the flows of the digital age
  • To articulate metropolitan strategies in the field of culture
  • To implement the libraries plan approved by Barcelona City Council
  • To articulate actions to improve cultural provision in the districts and neighbourhoods of the city
