Municipal developments in Vilanova i la Geltrú

Overview

Vilanova i la Geltrú is advancing several municipal initiatives focused on urban planning and public health. The city plans to implement a low emission zone (ZBE) in the city center by the end of 2026, though local drivers will be exempt from these mobility restrictions.

In parallel, municipal leaders and health professionals are developing a Local Health Plan for 2027–2031. Following a recent health diagnosis, officials identified needs regarding alcohol consumption, adolescent smoking, and elderly loneliness. To address these and environmental concerns like noise and air pollution, the city is exploring ‘social prescription’ and transversal public policies.
