The platform "El parc no es toca" maintains its rejection of the planned construction in the Parc Jordi Vilamitjana in Girona and does not rule out taking the case to court. The conflict remains open while the approved urban planning allows for the construction of nearly 400 apartments in the green space.
The tension is concentrated at that point. The Girona City Council and the Generalitat de Catalunya announced at the end of 2025 that they would study an alternative to transfer the buildability to the Mas Xirgu sector and leave the park free of buildings, but the project that today has urban planning validation still contemplates housing in that area.
The approved planning still validates almost 400 apartments in the park
The operation is linked to the future Josep Trueta Health Campus. The planned scheme involves transferring the buildability to Parc Jordi Vilamitjana to compensate the owners who will lose part of their properties due to the development associated with the new campus.
In June, the Girona council approved the urban planning. Months later, in November, the Territorial Commission of Urban Planning and the Generalitat de Catalunya gave the project the go-ahead.
However, the alternative announced at the end of 2025 changes that arrangement. The City Council and the Generalitat proposed relocating the buildability to an area of the Mas Xirgu industrial estate, on land adjacent to Masrocs, to keep Parc Jordi Vilamitjana free of construction.
This turn has not resolved the neighborhood conflict because the modification is not finalized. Furthermore, the definitive approval in Salt is still pending after reports on noise and mobility were unfavorable and must be resubmitted.
The platform has maintained protests since June 2024 and is now pointing to legal action
Since the urban planning modification was announced in June 2024, neighborhood opposition has been constant. Mobilizations have been repeated both in the streets of Girona and in the park itself.
The platform has now hardened its position in the face of a lack of a definitive solution. In its latest statement, it maintains that it does not rule out going to court to defend Parc Jordi Vilamitjana if the processing maintains the buildability over the green area.

The pulse is maintained, therefore, between a planning already endorsed in Girona and by the Territorial Commission of Urbanism, and a subsequent alternative that must still be specified in the pending processing. The missing piece is in Salt, where noise and mobility reports require the resubmission of documentation to achieve final approval.
The last formal obstacle remains that procedure in Salt, paralyzed by unfavorable reports on noise and mobility that must be redone before the project can receive final approval.
