Viladecans is the fourth most populated municipality in the Baix Llobregat region and 19th in Catalonia. With a compact urban centre, which occupies one third of the entire municipal area, and a large variety of geographic areas –from the beach to the mountain, through protected natural areas and agrarian lands– we are an inviting city to be enjoyed and visited. A city that has not lost its small-town spirit from half a century ago, but has developed an entrepreneurial attitude to multiply its potential.
Culture, employment, technology and education
The desire to be a city that generates opportunities for all its neighbours has made Viladecans become an example in the promotion of culture, access to technologies, innovation in education and the promotion of the city from the social and economic point of view. Our commitment is based on the attraction of investments and multinational companies, on the drive to diversify sectors of activity, on the support of entrepreneurship in the creation of companies and in local production, and on the training of professionals. The objective of Viladecans to be a benchmark of economic dynamism in the region, in order to get out of the crisis under the best conditions, has ended up turning the city into a reference on quality of life. With a population that is younger than the Catalan average and more than fifty municipal facilities to guarantee public services, Viladecans has left behind the old label of the dormitory town to become a municipality that is active, open, lively and nonconformist in the face of inequality.
We share a common vision of what we want to be and where we want to reach, and the goal we want to achieve: we want to be a benchmark in economic dynamism and progress in the Barcelona area. That is why we will be a well-connected city and an example in the empowerment of natural, social and cultural heritage, to become the new "city to discover" of the Llobregat Delta, both for new residents and visitors. We are a city committed to the future of its citizens, a reference in quality of life and that facilitates, to those who believe in it, the development of their personal, professional and business projects.
Our reason for being and the course we must chart to get where we want to be are clear. Our mission is to be the city that brings out and strengthens the talent of its citizens. We are a city that wants it all, but maintains the advantages of a harmonious and tranquil town. Its energy is born from its people. Everything is oriented toward them and through them.
We know who we are, what defines us and differentiates us from the rest, and we know how we want others to see us. We are the city that, thanks to an entrepreneurial mindset, outdoes itself every day. That believes in the future and, therefore, invests in its youth. We offer quality of life and the best conditions to realize personal, business and commercial projects, and guarantee our people opportunities for progress.
Welcome to Viladecans!
