Risk Mitigation • Sudden introduction of • Strengthen the neighborhood before an external introducing “The Gates megaproject of Collserola” Internal • Mismanaged increase development of density, speculation, • Controlled and strategic gentrification increase of density. Right • Introduction of new of pre-emption typology forces • Enforcement of the rearrangement of original public space and space -> loss of typology. Growth adapts uniqueness to it. • Torre Baró is attractive • Missing the opportunity enough to catch their of catching the Tower / own visitors (and the The Observatory’s visitors Tower’s) Proposal
