This street was transformed into a shared space prioritizing pedestrians along a 3 km stretch between Joan Miró Square and Passeig de Sant Joan, with extensions into the perpendicular streets Girona, Comte Borrell, and Rocafort. It exemplified the new 21st-century street model: re-naturalized, with a very low number of cars (AADT below 2,000 vehicles/day), allowed to circulate at a maximum speed of 10 km/h.

The street has no circulation restrictions, as the new one-way directions prevent continuous through routes, drastically reducing the number of vehicles. Previously, cars dominated the space, but now they are guests. Thanks to the vitality gained after its renovation, Consell de Cent has become one of the most attractive streets in the Catalan capital.
