DUGiDocsLa ciutat-jardí d'iniciativa espanyola a l'època franquista: el cas del grup d'habitatges sindicals de Sant Narcís de Girona
Text Complet
The first part of this article examines the role played by different
urban agents (land propietors and local and national public authorities)
who intewened directly or indirectly in the creation of ((Sindicate
Housing,, in Sant Narcis de Girona. Their attitude (in some cases
favourable and in others unfavourable) to the sheme is specified, and
it is noted that such diverging attitudes demonstrate the lack of unity
of purpose within the same dominating social class. The basic questions
are: 1) to prove that the major rural land propietors en el Pla de
Girona controlled the urban expansion of the city; 2) to demonstrate
the existence of continous intewention by the National Government
in the promotion and constitution of low cost-housing during the
ygars following the Civil War (when the Sant Narcis estate was built);
3) to verify the support given by the local public authorities (the City
Council) to the land-owners; 4) to point out the constantly increasing
dependence of Sant Narcís on Girona's city centre. Although the
Sant Narcis <(Sindicate Housing~ possesses some characteristics typical
of garden estates, it forms a truly unique urban unit within the city
of Girona, and in capitalist cities in general, in so much as it offers
different morphological units within a relatively limited area, while at
the same time architectural similarities give it a uniform appearance
in comparison to its surroundings.
The second part of the article consists of a study of the population
of the Sant Narcis estate. The principal characteristics are the progressive
aging of the population and its abandon, as a result of continuous
urban degradation and the heterogeneous social class composition,
which was distributed differently according to the category of
dwellings and hence implied clearly defined social segregation
