💧 Water returns to public hands. A comprehensive study by the University of Barcelona (Germà Bel and Joël Bühler) analyzes why remunicipalization in Catalonia is the only real strategy to break the private monopoly.
Published in the Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society, the study by Professor Germà Bel and researcher Joël Bühler, from the Faculty of Economics and Business at the University of Barcelona, shows that the remunicipalisation of urban water has become the most effective tool for curbing the quasi-monopolistic power of large private companies in Catalonia, far above competition for contracts.
