The hosting of major sporting events has helped cement the city's identity as a leading sports capital and has created opportunities that extend far beyond competition itself. Against this backdrop, the departure of the 2026 Tour de France from Barcelona, scheduled for July, marks a new milestone for the city. This international event will not only place Barcelona at the centre of the global sporting stage, but will also serve as an opportunity to reflect on the role that major events play in urban, social and economic development. This series of sessions aims to open a space for dialogue and reflection on sport's capacity to generate lasting legacy: from encouraging participation and promoting its values, to its positive impact on the economy, tourism and the city's international standing. Through a range of contributions and viewpoints, the series will highlight how hosting world-class events can help build a more active, cohesive and globally connected Barcelona.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.fundaciobarcelonaolimpica.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/05\/Mesa-de-trabajo-4-copia-10CAS-Cortes-web-2.jpg","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":588}
