Olympic Village (Barcelona)
The Olympic Village (in Catalan Vila Olímpica ) of the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona was spread over five different locations. The most important, Poblenou Village , resulted in a new district on the sea front, where originally the port and industrial zone dominated.
The two Olympic villages of La Seu d'Urgell Village with a capacity of 300 places for the canoe disciplines and Banyoles Village with 1012 places for the rowing competitions were located more than 100 kilometers from the city center. In addition, there was an Olympic village for referees ( Parc de Mar Village ) and one for other officials ( Vall d'Hebron Village ).
Already in 1990, before the Olympic Games, a large part of the apartments built in 2048 for the athletes in the Poblenou Village was offered for sale. By 1992, 60% of it had been sold, which could already be obtained by the new owners at the beginning of 1993. A special program to promote social mix ensured that an above-average number of apartments were sold to disabled people or families. The former Olympic village now serves as new accommodation for over 5000 residents. In addition, some of the buildings are used as office buildings.
