Proposal for a biomedical pole and a metropolitan avenue.

In a quick reading, when we say "from river to river", we recognize the Gran Via as a great metropolitan axis, with a non-random sequence of interlopers of centrality (metropolitan crossings); which also, not by chance, are being built in an increasingly permeable form. Thus, when reaching the "Gran Via Biopol" sector, the alignment blurs in a natural way, especially on the Collserola side where, the typology of residential urbanization (Bellvitge and Gornal) together with the equipment of the Hospital of Bellvitge, they deny this alignment. This first reflection, based on the evidence that the sector is one more of these metropolitan crossroads, is what leads us to define the first strategy of the proposal: renouncing the alignment to facilitate the introduction of green in the first place : the introduction of the Delta landscape to the city. This is, therefore, the main element of the proposal. We propose the park as an articulating element The creation of the Great Park.
