Squats vs. sharks in Barcelona
As riots hit Copenhagen after the demolition of a legal youth culture house, Barcelona considers its 300 squats in the look up to May’s municipal elections.
Vallcarca, western Barcelona. The buildings in this district, just above the more alternative district of Gracia, belong to property firm Nuñez and Navarro . Vallcarca is like a small town, and is on the hitlist for the council's next urban project; they plan to tear everything down and rebuild offices. Problematic, since Vallcarca also has one of the highest densities of uninhabited buildings - including 300 occupied squats .
