Focused on culture, housing, transportation, and retail services, the reports of these subcommittees displayed an impressive depth of thought and consideration. But the Task Force met for only four months and has since ceased to exist, despite their acknowledgement at the time that “many critical decisions depend on further study of particular problems and, most importantly, on coordination with...

"To produce solar energy you need a wide open space," Serret says. "and in Santa Coloma, the biggest open space is the cemetery." Indeed, the city's 124,000 inhabitants are squeezed into a bare 1.54 sq. miles (4 sq. km.) of space - and much of that land is mountainous...
