        Sustainability: the Barcelona Synchrotron Park focuses on birds and bats…
                                        The Barcelona Synchrotron Park (BSP), also known locally as Parc de l’Alba, is a park designed for companies and for people.
On one hand, with 400,000 m2 of fully urbanised plots located around the ALBA synchrotron it aims at becoming a reference landing location in Europe for technology-based companies.
On the other hand, the BSP offers a residential area for 4,088 housing units, a commercial area and a large network of green areas that represent about half of the 340 hectares of the park.
BSP’s commitment to sustainability and quality of life includes a 152 hectares biologic corridor that contributes to connect the Collserola natural park (8,000 hectares) that surrounds Barcelona, with the Sant Llorenç de Munt natural park (13.700 hectares). In this green corridor, work has been carried out by the BSP to install shelters where small insectivorous birds and bats can make their nests. These animals help to control insect pests, and are a very useful tool in sustainable agriculture and gardening.
This work is part of a global action plan elaborated by the BSP in order to restore this biologic area, which includes planting of 3,000 trees and 43,000 shrubs, for a 2 million Euros investment to date.
