PODCAST: Jordi Torrent, Port of Barcelona

Jordi talks to us about the port’s huge community redevelopment project which has been 30 years in the making.

The port is undertaking no mean feat with its project to relocate its ferry and cruise terminals and open the port up to the city, a project which won the 2022 ESPO award.

Barcelona’s project called “Your Port Opens Up Again” focuses on passenger traffic, infrastructure, reducing environmental impact and creating a better integration between the port and the city.

To add extra urgency to the project, the port is hosting the America’s Cup in 2024 so the relocation of the cruise and ferry terminals has upped the pace of the development.
