The managers of the city of Banyoles, ERC and the responsible maximum the mayor Pere Bosch and Cuenca, have bet for a model of urbanism garbage. The present photographic sample analyzes it and also it raises the following reflections. What does shine really in the remodeling of the heart of the city? According to the official propaganda the response is, the Major square. On the other hand if we notice to the perception and common sense of many citizens, which really shines is the failure of the pavement of natural stone that neither is the most suitable is not even of the awaited quality, falls apart very rapidly and the nonexistence of the principle of efficiency that must govern the performances of the public administrations.

The works of the Major square will never finish in the period fixed as consequence of a terrible planning and to an improvisation it continues.
