1 CONTEXT
METHODOLOGY11. CONTEXT
Barcelona City Council is promoting key economic sectors that are knowledge‐intensive, bringing high added value as a driving strategy behind the city’s growth model. These activities act as a magnet and a generator of jobs.
This commitment to transform traditional industrial areas into an innovation cluster is most obvious in the district called 22@.
The Council is well aware of the challenges that leading and managing this process brings. To do so, it is essential to have indicators to measure trends systematically in order to take appropriate strategic decisions.
In the following pages, GAPS will present a proposal that aims to collect and analyse available information on the overall economic activity of district 22@, with special attention to knowledge‐intensive sectors (@activity).
For GAPS, this project represents the 6th wave in a series of analyses that it has carried out on the business district, starting in 2007 and that have been repeated periodically in the years 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012.
