Intermediate territories in the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona: identity and recycling
Keywords:
Área metropolitana de Barcelona, ciudad dispersa, ordenación territorial urbana, regeneración urbana, sostenibilidad terrritorialAbstract
The author maintains that any construction of metropolitan territory that is only guided by
functional criteria must lead, willy-nilly to its visual and civic impoverishment. This being so, he
fi nds low density residential areas especially worrying. The present paper offers a technical
grounding for the regeneration of such areas based upon an intermediate territorial vision that
bears in mind their cultural heritage. An emblematic case of the Barcelona Metropolitan Region
where the agrarian substratum offers opportunities for the recovery of the suburban continua is
put to analysis. The recycling of heritage networks here becomes an interesting methodological
option given their capacity to generate guidelines as to ordering matters and citizen participation.
The inherent visual and cultural values of the masía (manor house) system is felt to offer a possible
contribution to the transformation of residential growth in sustainable districts.
