The project for 100 dwellings for young people next to Parc Central Nou Barris is part of a new housing policy for the City of Barcelonameant to promote and make it easier for youths below 25th finding dwellings. The program consists of a group of smaller apartmentsaround 40 square meters, almost single person flats, with some shared services.
