In 1984, just two years after the first democratic elections
were held after almost 40 years of dictatorship, the Mayor of
Barcelona proposed Barcelona as the host city for the 1992 Olympic
Games.
In 1986, the same year in which Spain entered the European
Union, it was publicly announced that Barcelona had been chosen to
host the future 1992 Olympic Games. This bid included ambitious
development projects for the city, such as the plan to open the
city to the sea by redeveloping the port area and decentralizing
the financial districts, in what was expected to be a major urban
transformation that had been decades in the making.
