Jaume Collboni seems to be more open to lending a hand to real estate than his predecessor in the position, Ada Colau . The mayor of Barcelona has started a round of interviews in which he announces that he is already reviewing the obligation to dedicate 30% of each residential development to social housing. For the moment, the mayor rules out reviewing the tourist accommodation plan, which vetoes new hotels in the city center, although he is open to talking about some exceptions” in the case of establishments with few rooms in unique buildings in the old town.
Mayor Jaume Collboni hopes to have the necessary Cambodia Telegram Number Data support this fall to review one of the most controversial measures of all those implemented during the previous mandate. This is the obligation to dedicate 30% of each development to social housing. The socialist already made it clear during the last electoral campaign. In his opinion, this initiative is not having the initially expected results, in reality it is discouraging private initiative, as he explained at the Barcelona, new stage conference.
For the new mayor, Barcelona needs a large public-private investment that will multiply the supply if it wants to overcome “its serious problems of access to housing.” And to promote this great investment, he intends to “monetize” the controversial obligation in order to establish a public fund dedicated to the purchase of plots and also buildings that will allow increasing the public housing stock in the most consolidated parts of the city.
On the other hand, in an interview with EFE, Collboni explained that he rules out reviewing the tourist accommodation plan , which vetoes new hotels in the city center, although he is "open to talking about any exceptions" in the case of establishments few rooms in unique buildings in the old town, with the aim of attracting tourism with high purchasing power.
The mayor emphasizes that “the city has a limit” in tourist load and says that the City Council will continue fighting, for example, against illegal tourist apartments.
The “general criterion is that hotel beds in the city center will not increase because we are at the optimal limit and in the non-stressed areas they can still be built,” reiterates Collboni, who describes the current special urban plan as “correct.” of tourist accommodation (Peuat).
The mayor recalls that the city can still add 4,000 hotel beds in zones 3 and 4 , outside the center, and predicts that projects will emerge in areas such as the area around La Sagrera station.
