Gorg, Badalona

Administrative divisions of Badalona.

Gorg is a neighborhood of Badalona (Catalonia, Spain) which belongs to the town's District 5 and consequently part of the metropolitan area of Barcelona. Gorg owes its origins to the Industrial Revolution and the substantial growth of the Barcelona area. It still contains a great number of factories, but the area has been recently subject to profound changes.[1] Developers related to Marina Badalona have been involved with the ongoing transformation of the area.[2] The area is home to the 1992 Summer Olympics venue Palau Municipal d'Esports de Badalona. Construction of an urban canal connecting the marina with the sports arena through Gorg has long been put on hold until now that many real state agencies are detecting the raise of a new and modern neighborhood and the canal is already constructed.[3]
