Cerdanyola del Vallès Town Council has outlined a range of municipal plans and programmes, setting strategic directives for local policies across various sectors, according to information published on 9 April 2026. These documents address areas from urban development and environmental protection to social equality and community services. The council's planning instruments provide an integrated approach to the educational needs of children and young people, coordinate cultural action, and define local housing policies. These plans also aim to concert policies between the Generalitat de Catalunya and local councils, ensuring a coordinated response to residents' needs. ## Promoting Equality and Inclusion Among the key initiatives are several plans focused on equality and feminism. The Cerdanyola del Vallès Local Feminist Plan (2023-2028) serves as a central framework for municipal equality policies. It is built on three main principles: integrating a gender perspective across all municipal actions, incorporating an intersectional approach, and promoting women's support to strengthen individual and collective agency. Building on the diagnosis from the feminist plan, the Local LGTBI Plan (2024-2028) outlines seven axes of action. Each axis includes specific objectives and concrete actions, complete with indicators, timelines, and responsible departments, designed for clear implementation and subsequent evaluation. This plan follows an earlier Equality Plan for Affective, Sexual, and Gender Identity and Expression Diversity (LGTBIQ) from 2014, which aimed to guarantee the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex individuals and to eradicate homophobia and transphobia. ## Urban and Environmental Regeneration Urban development and environmental sustainability are also significant areas of focus. The council is advancing a specific modification to the Metropolitan General Plan for the Vallès Technology Park Area (2025). This modification aims to create Parc del Castell and align with the Urbanistic Master Plan for the Centre Direccional of Cerdanyola del Vallès, a project promoted by the town council and drafted by the Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB). Cerdanyola del Vallès secured European FEDER funds to develop its Integral Action Plan (PAI), titled 'Connecting Cerdanyola Neighbourhoods through Urban, Economic, and Environmental Regeneration'. This plan was submitted under the Integrated Local Development Strategies call of the FEDER 2021-2027 programme. An Air Quality Improvement Plan is also in place, primarily to reduce NO2 levels, not only to enhance air quality but also to avoid potential sanctions from the European Commission for non-compliance with maximum emission levels. The council has also published a Forest Fire Prevention Plan (2023-2028), a document detailing measures to reduce fire causes, limit their effects, and facilitate extinction efforts. In response to climate challenges, a Drought Emergency Plan (2024) has been established. This plan, framed within the Special Action Plan for Alert and Eventual Drought Situations, defines indicators and thresholds for different drought states, along with water use limitations for each scenario. ## Mobility and International Cooperation The Cerdanyola del Vallès Urban Mobility Plan (2014-2020) is a foundational document for shaping sustainable mobility strategies within the municipality. Its contents align with the criteria and guidelines set out in the Mobility Master Plan for the Barcelona Metropolitan Region. Beyond local initiatives, the council's plans also extend to international cooperation. A document outlines key aspects for Cerdanyola's international cooperation efforts in the coming years, aiming to explore new avenues for municipal cooperation with a human rights and progressively, a gender focus. Additionally, the council has measures to control fraud risk in the execution of funds from the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR), acknowledging its administrative competencies in this area. These comprehensive municipal plans represent the strategic framework guiding Cerdanyola del Vallès' development and public services for the foreseeable future. They reflect the council's commitment to addressing diverse community needs, from environmental protection to social equity, through coordinated and evaluated actions.
