Barcellona: osservazioni sulla letteratura riguardante i modelli di indirizzo dell'urbanistica negli ultimi 20 anni

Abstract

This article proposes a synthetic examination of the modifications that can be found in the official City of Barcelona publications regarding urban transformations in the city in the last 20 years. The main objective is to understand the relationship between urban planning projects and the books published by the city’s various administrations, as well as correspondent urban and social policies. An attempt is made to analyse what has been the programmatic development in light of similar parameters of comparison based on a hypothesis in which the publications, like the projects, have a double role of synthesis with respect to the past and the construction of a collective imaginary on the city regarding the future
