Josep Xurigué

I was born in Barcelona in 1972.

I am a little daugther 5 years old's father.

I worked as a City Council advisor in political contents and communication. I focus on Urban studies and human development, democratic governance, city branding and territorial marketing.

At third sector, I organized courses and conferences on Human Rights, Democracy, fight against Poverty, Healt and Environment, as a director of theses topics at Olof Palme International Foundation.

I am political scientist. I have a PhD's in Political Science at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, on Barcelona City's development between 1990 and 2010.

I believe in cities and territories's power to improve our world. I believe cities could be a place of economical growth, social cohesion and human progress.

I have studied Political Science at European University Institute (Florence, Italy) and at University of Central Lancashire (Preston, UK).

A world based on democratic governed cities would be a better world.

We should respect our beautiful green and blue planet and fight against climate change, racism and extremism in favour of Peace.

To invest in Culture and Education is one of the main hopeness.

I was in International Mission in Parlamentary Bulgarian elections as an international observer. It was in Gobrovo's region on 12th May 2013.
