The Value of Metropolitan Solutions
The Value of Metropolitan Solutions is a study commissioned by the Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB) from the Metropoli Institute in Spain. Released in January 2024, the study dives into the concept of “Solutionism” as effective responses to metropolitan problems, issues, needs, challenges or demands that can span multiple sectors, promote citizen participation, and be scalable to other places. The report from the study examines the process of problem-solving and the strengths and weaknesses of “solutions” within an array of contexts including planning, policies, and approaches such as Nature Based Solutions. BARC is featured as a case study with Allison Brooks, Executive Director of BARC, being interviewed by one of the authors, Cecilia Conde Lopez.
