Urban planners from the main international universities coincide in predicting that world power will reside more and more in cities and less in States. In the world to come, cities that recognize themselves as related will share social movements, knowledge, information ... they will be technologically intelligent, they will be digitized, hyper-connected and highly prepared to organize society and give comfort to their users.
The digital and technological industry will allow us to freely choose where we want to live, because we will be able to work connected from anywhere in the world. Our devices will largely become our office.
It is very likely that in the future, new ways of working will favor Barcelona's ability to attract professionals who seek quality of life without giving up a cosmopolitan environment. Fortunately, Barcelona will be increasingly mixed and more universal.
In 2017, almost 3.000 companies established in our territory moved their headquarters outside of Catalonia. The political situation continues rarefied, but our business fabric can no longer wait for the waters to calm down. We have to put ourselves to work intensely to regain shine and solvency. And this should involve public sector work in close collaboration with the private sector. We have to conspire to jointly configure the city model we need: an ambitious city, aware of its strengths, to be able to work on them, to sophisticate them and make them unbeatable.

Regarding our ability to attract international venues, Barcelona plays in an extraordinarily competitive international league. The good news is that we have some good cards. We need to know how to play them properly.

With regard to housing, it is essential that Barcelona does not become unaffordable for the people of Barcelona, so that our city is not forced to reinvent itself without the human capital that shapes it. Barcelona needs to grow to accommodate those of us who are, those who are arriving and those who will arrive.
The problem of steep increases in house prices and rental income will only be solved if it is approached on a broader geographical scale. The solution necessarily involves configuring a larger metropolis that responds to the scarcity of spaces where to live and work. In this sense, it is essential to carry out a real integration of Barcelona with the rest of the cities in its sphere of influence, even beyond the metropolitan area. We must make a "great Barcelona" work in a more cohesive way, jointly organizing everything related to mobility and public transport.
Barcelona will continue to attract companies that will want to establish their headquarters and international profiles that will want to live here, so the problem of the limitation of Barcelona as a municipality persists and needs to be addressed without delay.
Fortunately, Barcelona has an extremely rich associative fabric, which can be a great backbone of the initiatives we need to boost our economic and social growth.
