While not immune to the difficulties of consultation and participation processes, Barcelona’s La Mina redevelopment was characterised by the inclusion of the local community and a focus on improving quality of life for all while respecting individual and collective rights. The agency responsible for the design and regeneration of La Mina neighbourhood, Consortium del Barri de La Mina, was composed of the regional, municipal and provincial authorities of Barcelona. It envisaged the participation of residents in the neighbourhood regeneration process through the Platform of Entities of la Mina and Neighbours Associations. The renovation focused on removing barriers that physically isolated the neighbourhood from the rest of the city, relocating and demolishing buildings, as well as the construction of new housing. Other significant elements included the creation of a pedestrian street with commercial uses and the integration of the neighbourhood in a tram transport network. Public consultations were carried out in 3 phases through small workshops organised with community-based groups for the generation of proposals regarding spatial design, uses, and facilities to be provided. Notably, the elderly and women had the most active participation in these workshops. Due to the long-lasting nature of the consultation as well as the last phase being more guided by external consultants, its final period was characterised by loosened community ties and a retreat of community focus from the project.
