Pla Delta / Llobregat

Located to the southwest of Barcelona, between two major infrastructures – the Port of Barcelona and Barcelona-El Prat Airport – and with the Free Zone and the Costums-Free Zone, the Llobregat Delta is an important engine for the metropolitan area’s economy. The first Delta Plan was undertaken in the 1990s and involved diverting the course of the Llobregat river in order to extend the industrial port, among other initiatives. The Delta Plan intends to transform this area by reviving zones of economic activity and improving infrastructures, such as Mercabarna, creating a new intermodal station, a building platform for SMEs and social economy and green corridors leading to the river from the urban area.
