Parc de l'Alba is one of Catalonia's most strategic projects and aims to become an important driver of scientific and technological development in southern Europe and is being jointly developed by the Government of Catalonia –through the Institut Català del Sòl– and the Cerdanyola City Council, national and international institutions.
Pere Solà i Busquets, Director of the Consorci Urbanístic Centre Direccional de Cerdanyola del Vallès - Parc de l'Alba (Urban Consortium for the Management Office of Cerdanyola del Vallès – Parc de l'Alba)
This project is creating an international knowledge hub in the heart of the Barcelona metropolitan region, that can bring together 40,000 jobs linked to added value activities. This strategic area features one of the most advanced research facilities in Europe
– the Alba synchrotron – a first-rate university campus – the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona– and an exceptional concentration of knowledge infrastructures as well as industrial and business parks
Parc de l'Alba has a privileged location: it is in Cerdanyola del Vallès, at the foot of the main natural park in Barcelona –the Collserola Park–, and has an excellent local, national and international connectivity.
This territory is being transformed into a high-quality urban and environmental space, which incorporates cutting-edge infrastructures and will feature a sustainable residential district, a wide range of services, and a large network of nature and social areas.
