Hort Indignat de Poblenou (Barcelona)
Barcelona, Spain · Operator: ポブレノウ社会アセンブリ(Assemblea Social del Poblenou)の住民集団
Overview
A self-managed community garden born from the 2011 15-M (Indignados) movement by reclaiming a vacant lot — seen as a symbol of resistance to speculative development and the 'right to the city'.
Citizen participation
Neighbours fully self-manage cultivation and make decisions in assembly; alongside open-air and greenhouse growing it hosts exhibitions, recitals and communal meals as a social space.
Operating model
Non-market and self-managed, running on resident labour and mutual aid, deliberately outside municipal agreements and market logic.
Impact
Documented in scholarship and media as an emblematic case of Barcelona's post-15-M urban gardening movement.
Crops
- vegetables
- assorted plants
Scale
近隣の空き地を再占有した小規模区画と小さな温室。隣接地に拡張し計3区画で約65世帯が関わるとされる。面積は出典に明記なし。

The corridor created by undergrounding the Odakyu line (Shimokita Senrogai) was regenerated as continuous green infrastructure of a rain-garden plaza, open meadow and planting strips. The municipal Shimokita Rain Garden Plaza is designed so people can cross on stepping stones even when water pools, delivering stormwater management, biodiversity and community. The citizen group Shimokita Engei-bu is deeply involved through planting, beekeeping and composting.
