According to the list The 30 coolest streets in the world published by Time Out International, Passeig de Sant Joan is ranked as the second best street in the world. The magazine highlights the sustainable design of the boulevard, optimized for pedestrians and cyclists.
PASSEIG DE SANT JOAN: URBAN GREEN CORRIDOR
Its redevelopment, carried out over the last decade, was led by architect Lola Domènech Oliva, who aimed to prioritize pedestrian use and transform the boulevard into an urban green corridor. These goals have turned Passeig de Sant Joan into a benchmark for 21st-century green urbanism.
Among the most notable features of Passeig Sant Joan are its wide sidewalks that invite walking, its lanes optimized for different types of transport, the vegetation that gives it different colors throughout the seasons, and the presence of architecturally significant works of global relevance.
PERMEABLE SPACES
The creation of permeable spaces in Passeig de Sant Joan, has been a successful initiative praised as “the soul of the boulevard“ by the distinguished media outlet Wall Street International. Likewise, the well-known blog Jardines sin fronteras has also described the permeable pavement as “an innovative construction solution aligned with the eco-efficiency philosophy of the boulevard”.
Passeig de Sant Joan features LLOSA VULCANO® in Ceniza colour, installed using both traditional methods and the RASEN MOHR® system.
At BREINCO we have developed LLOSA VULCANO® in a wide variety of formats and colours, with all shades available in two finishes: Standard® or Top Complete®. It is an easy-to-install piece that guarantees quality and high aesthetic value over time.
The RASEN MOHR® system used in Passeig de Sant Joan combines LLOSA VULCANO® slabs with biodegradable wooden spacers. These spacers create joints that are filled with gravel and topsoil, allowing grass to grow. In this way, the boulevard achieves high-quality paving with strong landscape value and, above all, sustainability.
