| Sumario: | Between 2015 and 2023, València has implemented a green urban planning model to make the city friendlier and more sustainable, leading to its candidacy as European Green City 2024. In this context, the ‘València de las Plazas’ project has renovated key spaces such as the Town Hall Square, Plaza de la Reina, Ciutat de Bruixes-Mercat, and Sant Agustí, which are considered urban megaprojects.This study suggests that these interventions have promoted gentrification processes, both classical and touristic, in the affected neighborhoods. Even though some squares are still under construction or have only recently been completed, a significant increase in tourism has already been observed, with these squares serving as the main attractions. Additionally, there has been a decline in the young population and an increase in the number of migrants from countries with higher or similar incomes to Spain, a phenomenon linked to rising property prices in the affected areas, leading to a general increase in rents. |
