From Industrial Site to Active Community Hub

In the heart of Barcelona, Can Batlló has shifted from a closed industrial district to a place alive with energy. Paths, courts and training areas now invite people to move, meet and create together. The transformation was shaped by architect Roberto Soto Fernández and powered by KOMPAN’s fitness solutions - blending cardio, strength, callisthenics and multisport into the urban landscape so activity feels like a natural part of daily life.

This is more than a redesign of public space. It’s proof that urban policy can spark healthier habits, stronger communities and more connected neighbourhoods. The return is measured not just in equipment installed, but in better health, higher participation and shared pride in a space that belongs to everyone. Can Batlló shows what happens when cities turn unused ground into living places - inspiring movement, inclusion and meaningful change.

"This is a spectacular transformation. Can Batlló used to be a closed-off space. One day, we decided to make contact with the local administration and try to transform this space into what it is starting to become now".

Enric Jara, Vice President, La Bordeta Neighborhood Council
