Manlleu is currently undergoing several urban renewal projects aimed at enhancing its infrastructure and preserving its historical sites. Recent efforts have focused on revitalizing the city’s riverfront, creating more green spaces and recreational areas along the Ter River, which has become a hub for outdoor activities and eco-tourism.
Cultural initiatives are also on the rise, with the local government supporting various festivals, arts projects, and collaborations with neighboring cities. Sustainable tourism is another focus, with Manlleu positioning itself as a destination for those looking to experience Catalonia’s natural beauty and heritage without the crowds of larger tourist hotspots.
In terms of economic development, the city is promoting local businesses, particularly in the areas of artisanal crafts and eco-friendly products. These initiatives are helping to preserve Manlleu’s cultural identity while adapting to modern economic trends.
