Urbidermis / All Urban Ltd

Barcelona has chosen a revamped model of urban development, designed to enhance the life of its citizens and to adapt to the impacts brought about by climate change. An overhaul of the present with a forward-looking approach; sustaining two paces: that of technology and that of humans.

Previously renovated in 2005, Marina Palamós is undergoing a profound and ambitious transformation, aimed at considerably enriching the port’s coastal heritage and the quality of its landscape. A project that is designed to improve livability, with spaces that are more shaded, comfortable and wrapped in green. Urbidermis is diving into the project, providing a holistic perspective that addresses lighting, furniture, microarchitecture and vegetation.

On the banks of the River Thames, in the London borough of Newham, the Royal Docks area - the Royal Group of Docks - comprises three docks: the Royal Albert Dock, the Royal Victoria Dock and the King George V Dock. Opened between 1855 and 1921, they were one of the largest freight bases until the second half of the 20th century. Today, their history and growth continue unabated, driving cultural, commercial, and residential development in the east of the English capital. Consultancy firm Mott MacDonald is involved in the program, improving infrastructure and enhancing the biodiversity of the area through interventions at the Thames Barrier Park, Connaught Bridge, and the Royal Albert Way Overpass.
