Baix Llobregat is set to receive €216.4 million in the Generalitat de Catalunya’s 2026 budget, with projects planned across the comarca, according to the official budget materials and a report by Metrópoli Abierta.
For residents, the key point is practical: if the budget is approved, the money is meant for healthcare, schools, water infrastructure and local works in towns including Castelldefels, Gavà, Sant Boi, Sant Feliu, Martorell, El Prat and Viladecans. That makes the plan relevant for commuters, families and people waiting on public services.
Healthcare projects for Castelldefels, Gavà and Sant Boi
According to the Generalitat, the health package includes new Primary Care Centres in Castelldefels, Gavà, Sant Boi and Sant Feliu, plus work on Cornellà’s Sant Ildefons CAP. The plan also includes support for Hospital Sant Joan de Déu de Martorell and funding for Viladecans Hospital for expansion, reform, a new underground car park, external works and renovation of older buildings.
Schools, water and sport works
The education and water items are also set out in the official plan. The Institut Joan Miró in Cornellà is due to be expanded and refurbished, Castelldefels University Campus has money set aside for land expropriations, and in Esplugues the Joaquim Blume high-performance sports residence is due for reform, alongside modernisation and energy-efficiency work at Catalan Sports Council facilities there. Water infrastructure includes funding for the Llobregat drinking water treatment plant in Abrera, two lamellar decanters, the northern interceptor storm water pumping station in Castelldefels and the Llobregat desalination plant in El Prat.
Roads, justice, housing and prison works
Other projects listed by the Generalitat include work on the B-224 road in Martorell, a new judicial building in the same town, rehabilitation of the civic centre in El Prat, changes at Brians 2 prison in Sant Esteve Sesrovires, the tram extension in Sant Feliu and protected housing promotion in the Llevant area of Viladecans. The wider plan also covers €1.586 billion for the Barcelona vegueria, the Generalitat’s planning area for the wider Barcelona region.
What readers should watch next
The budget still needs to move through approval, so the next step is to follow the Generalitat’s budget pages and local council notices in the affected towns.
