Barcelona, Hospitalet, Sabadell, Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Montcada and El Prat de Llobregat. Six cities that have buried infrastructure, or are going to bury it, with concrete plans and closed financing. In some cases, to bury the train, and in others, to bury the cars. With tunnel lengths from the modest kilometer in Sabadell to

From BCN to Mataró, from science to the market and more Europe

Ja fa més de 175 anys que el Miquel Boada va aconseguir que es fes realitat el seu projecte, la línia de ferrocarril Barcelona Mataró. Era un projecte amb uns objectius clars, connectar el Port de Barcelona amb Mataró amb una tecnologia disruptiva, la màquina de vapor. Aquesta era molt més ràpida i eficient que

¿Por qué en los aeropuertos pagamos la torta un pan?

By bike… it depends!

The shared bicycle service that the Barcelona metropolitan area has launched, which arrived in Badalona just before the municipal elections, fails more than a fair shotgun.
