==Proposed changes==
It has long been proposed to split the northern part of Baix Llobregat into a separate comarca. The Catalan government's "Report on the revision of Catalonia's territorial organisation model" (the {{Interlanguage link multi|Roca Report|ca|3=Informe Roca}}), published in 2000, recommends many changes to comarcas, including the creation of {{Interlanguage link multi|Baix Llobregat Nord|ca}}, with its capital at [[Martorell]], taking in several more municipalities from [[Alt Penedès]], [[Anoia]], [[Bages]], and [[Vallès Occidental]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.geosoc.udl.es/professorat/informe_OTC.pdf |title=Informe sobre la revisió del Model d'organització territorial de Catalunya |author=Miquel Roca i Junyent |language=ca |date=December 2000 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140829023715/http://www.geosoc.udl.es/professorat/informe_OTC.pdf |archive-date=2014-08-29 |display-authors=etal |url-status=dead }}</ref> Recent campaigns have referred to the proposed new comarca as "Montserratí", due to the landmark [[Montserrat (mountain)|Montserrat]] mountain marking part of its eastern border.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.regio7.cat/anoia-baix-llobregat/2017/07/05/neix-plataforma-reivindicar-futura-comarca/423150.html|title=Neix una Plataforma per reivindicar la futura comarca del Montserratí|author=Laura Guevara Montfort|publisher=[[Regió7]]|date=7 July 2017|access-date=2017-07-20|language=ca}}</ref>
