Studies

Barcelona has an extensive ecosystem of academic institutions, research centres and think tanks that generate knowledge about the metropolis and the diverse challenges it faces. Although it does not have research capacities comparable to these other organisations, the coordination office of the PEMB carries out tasks by seeking to compile and synthesise the knowledge generated throughout its project facilitation and incubation processes.

Likewise, the PEMB occasionally promotes specific contributions in areas in which ongoing work with metropolitan stakeholders involves the generation of new knowledge “on the ground” or often by commissioning third parties on specific aspects that need to be studied in depth in order to complement the tasks carried out in the work with stakeholders and the development of the Metropolitan Commitment 2030.
