Design Challenge: Within the framework of the World Zero Evictions Days 2009, the International Alliance of Inhabitants summons a competition of ideas for a participative and zero evictions urban renewal of the popular neighborhood of Bon Pastor in Barcelona. The contest “Repensar Bonpastor” aims at the same time to analyze new proposals for the transformation of a neighborhood and generate a debate on the possible transformation of cities, where the inhabitants are not mere customers or users, but the leading actors in the future architectures.
In the last years, Bon Pastor’s neighborhood has ran across a transformation process due to the “Urban Renewal Plan” adopted in 2003. This plan implies the complete demolition of 784 social houses (known as casas baratas) built by the City Council in 1929, and the relocation of all the tenants in new apartments. This urban renewal project has generated contrasted opinions, dividing the neighborhood between those who support the plan, those who strongly reject it, and those who accept it due to the lack of alternatives.
