The Bilbao City Council has initiated several urban renovation projects aimed at improving municipal facilities. 

In September 2026, work began on the former Ollerías schools to transform the site into the Casa de las Mujeres. This project, budgeted at approximately 3.8 million euros, focuses on historical preservation, energy efficiency, and accessibility, with an expected completion date in November 2027. The facility will eventually provide workshops, coworking areas, and library services.

By October 2026, the city completed a 57,000 euro renovation of the auditorium at the Otxarkoaga Municipal Center. This upgrade included new seating and flooring to enhance comfort and accessibility for local cultural programs and community associations.
