The Barcelona Time Use Initiative is part of the Barcelona Time Agreement, a city agreement to move towards a new time organisation that is healthier, egalitarian, more efficient, and more sustainable. The Time Agreement, and the entities and organisations of which it is composed, have been promoting initiatives and proposals in such a direction for years, and the objective for 2023 is for the Agreement to take a step further.
“Barcelona on time” is an initiative of the Barcelona City Council’s Time Agreement, and it was created in order to consolidate time as a civic right — putting it forward as one of the pivotal objectives in the city’s agenda. Such a newsletter, which will be released quarterly, is aimed at citizens and the different social, economic, and political actors in the city. It will include up-to-date, innovative, exclusive, and relevant information on the various events, and projects related to time organisation promoted in the city of Barcelona.
