The community care initiative Vïla Veina [Barcelona, Spain] The roll-out of Vila Veïna in the city of Barcelona (Spain) corresponds to a transformation in the social and healthcare model to ageing and care, where priority is given to proximity, joint responsibility and personalised care. Care is conceived of as a shared community task, not something private or individual, reducing the care burden that typically falls to women (see chapter 4E on care work and time management). In the first phase starting in 2021, 16 housing units will be established with the goal of at least one Vila Veïna in each municipal district. With an initial budget of 3.5 million EUR, the first phase targets the neighbourhoods of Vilapicina i la Torre Llobeta, Provençals del Poblenou, La Marina del Port and El Congrés i els Indians, serving 300 000 people in total. During the second stage, 12 more housing units will be established. The final project aims to establish 115 units, eventually covering a community area with between 10 000 and 30 000 inhabitants. Each unit has a reference point for the care network that provides guidance on the municipal resources, associations and communities available. The goal is to group together all available services and provide a comprehensive and coordinated response. Further, Vila Veïna supports care-takers professionally, most of which are women (see also chapter 5C on Healthcare), and improves working conditions and welfare. Facilities, for example, provide access to local resources, guidance and legal and labour advice, as well as meeting spaces for time out. Besides these services and resources, each unit will develop an urban transformation plan for calming public space from a feminist care perspective, in line with the Barcelona superblocks95 model.
