The Project
Lanzarote in
transformation
We are living a moment of profound change. The great transitions of the 21st century ecological, digital, demographic and social are redefining the future of island territories.
Lanzarote, with its unique identity and its human scale, has the opportunity to become a laboratory of sustainable solutions for the world.
But to achieve this, it needs to look beyond tourism and once again make innovation, culture and community its drivers of development.
Why the project
is born
For decades, Lanzarote was an international benchmark for its ability to balance art, territory and sustainability. That legacy today faces new challenges:
Tourism pressure
+2.5 Million visitors per year
Economic dependence
More than 70% of the island's GDP
Young talent drain
50% of young people from Lanzarote intend to emigrate
Urban planning and energy
Outdated urban and energy model
A commitment by the Cabildo to activate collective intelligence, and that of its diaspora, to design a new model for the future based on knowledge, innovation and social cohesion
A new way
of thinking about the island
The transformation of Lanzarote cannot depend on a single figure or a single sector.
The challenge is collective.
TALENT
BUSINESSES
CITIZENS
INSTITUTIONS
come together to imagine solutions applied to the territory.
From an admired tourist destination, Lanzarote can become a laboratory territory: a space that tests policies of sustainable mobility, climate urban planning, clean energy, digitalisation and regenerative tourism.
Talent as
the driver of change
Lanzarote's true resource is its people.
From architects and athletes to technologists, teachers or designers: all are part of a community that shares the same vision —to imagine a fairer, more sustainable island connected with its environment.
“If 60 years ago one person was enough to change the island's history, today we need a thousand.”
Methodology
a vision for 2030
This project is an evolving process where each proposal arises from the meeting between local knowledge and global trends, transformed into concrete actions for the island.
A collaborative methodology that brings together analysis, creativity and citizen commitment to guide Lanzarote towards 2030.
Principles for 2030
Regenerate what exists
Transform without destroying, Lanzarote must evolve.
Regeneration means revitalising the territory, reducing dependence on tourism and reactivating the economy from the natural, urban and social heritage of the landscape.
Building the future from what we already have.
Talent, territory and technology
Innovate from collective intelligence.
Lanzarote means a network of communities and projects that combine global vision, decentralised energy and citizen participation.
Technology at the service of a fairer, more efficient and transparent territory.
Project a great vision
Think global, act island.
Turn Lanzarote into a benchmark for sustainability and territorial design.
An island that exports knowledge, attracts talent and proves that scale does not limit ambition.
