Municipal Allotment Network

Urban Farm DB summary

The official page of Barcelona's municipal allotment network, offering 15 allotment sites across the city's ten districts, with plots of 20-40 m2 leased to residents aged 65+ and non-profit organizations. The program formally launched in 1997 with the Can Mestres allotments, though the very first allotment, Hort de l'Avi in Gràcia, dates to 1986 following a resident petition. Plots for individuals are allocated by lottery and for organizations by competition, with stated goals of environmental education and intergenerational coexistence.

Only numbers and their conditions are stored, as structured data — never the source's own sentences. Metric and condition names stay in English, as coded.
