In 2020, Barcelona City Council's Cultural Data Observatory published the results of the first Survey on Cultural Participation and Cultural Needs in Barcelona. This year, the results of the second survey will be presented at CULTUROPOLIS.

The survey aims to provide relevant knowledge for public decision-making and reveal the cultural needs, types of participation and value that the people of Barcelona attach to culture. This project makes Barcelona one of only a few cities in the world to conduct a survey on cultural participation that incorporates diverse practices, not just event attendance, and evidence of the inequality that exists regarding the right to take part in the city's cultural life.
