On Friday, September 13, we organized, for the VET centers of Bcn and AMB and members of the Table, a guided tour to know the Urban Regeneration Program (PRUB) of the Municipal Institute of Urbanism of the City of Barcelona. This programme deploys a global, unitary and multidisciplinary strategy of actions on vulnerable urban buildings and fabrics in situations of inadequacy or degradation, a step forward is being taken to create comprehensive solutions to promote rehabilitation through sustainable and innovative construction systems.

We were also able to visit the three prototypes of industrialized construction (Aligra, Regenar Barcelona and InnoFab) that are being tested on a plot of the Diagonal-Besòs Campus of the UPC. They are the three winning proposals of the challenge launched in 2022 by the BIT Habitat Foundation and the Municipal Institute of Urbanism to look for innovative solutions for the rehabilitation of housing buildings.

Through these industrialised construction prototypes, the comfort, habitability conditions and sustainability of current buildings can be improved, which will allow reducing CO2 emissions and energy consumption. In addition, construction models are low-emission and with limited costs to allow a high volume of housing to regenerate in the coming decades and thus influence the decarbonization commitments of the city of Barcelona within the framework of the climate mission.

Connecting FP and Construction 4.0 trends is one of the challenges of the Table to train the best VET talent.
