Residents of Les Corts district in Barcelona have expressed concerns over the state of local parks.
Jardines de Bacardí suffered from lack of maintenance due to radical football fans. Jardines de Josep Munté faced issues with vandalism and homeless individuals, leading to a rehabilitation effort by the City Council. The nearby Jardines de Maria Teresa Vernet now also face similar problems with homelessness and increased litter. The President of the Residents’ Association highlights the need to reclaim the parks for the community. Despite efforts to improve lighting in the area, challenges persist. It raises the question: How can local authorities effectively address issues of vandalism, homelessness, and community use of public spaces in an urban environment?
