“The Barcelona Games were in a class of their own. Their vision to put sport at the heart of an ambitious transformation that changed the fortunes of the city and its people was inspired. Our task now is to take the best of Barcelona and build upon it’.

Lord Coe, Chair of LOCOG

Barcelona, a model


“Any city grows on the base of specific platforms, special projects or “pretexts” around which you can articulate the big proposal of change”

Pasqual MaragallMajor of Barcelona1986, before nomination

The Games, the pretext “All those involved … in the decision-making process knew that the Games were clearly a sporting event. I confess without shame, however, that this did not concern us, since what mattered … was to determine the dominating idea that would allow us to do in five or six years what had not been done in fifty, with the risk of taking another fifty if the opportunity was not taken”
