	City Mayors: Joan Clos - Mayor of Barcelona
		At the center of this controversy is Mayor Joan Clos.
		Clos responded by saying that everything has a price, and that he was put off by what he saw as a new movement of people demanding everything for free and rejecting anything when asked to pay.
		Clos feels that the new portions of the new Code have been misinterpreted as attacking the prostitutes themselves; he has emphasized that the real target is the criminals who exploit prostitutes, especially “international mafias”.

	Barcelona's Olympic Village and Diagonal Mar - districts without life
		The Mayor of Barcelona, Joan Clos, has blamed low density planning for the lack of social and economic life in Barcelona's Olympic Village and Diagonal Mar districts.
		For Clos, the Olympic Village with 60 dwellings per hectare, is an example of what should not be done in city planning.

		Around 1882 he worked as an assistant in the studio of the architect Joan Martorell, for whom he drew the plans of a new façade for Barcelona Cathedral that was never to be built.
