CITY HALL ADMINISTRATION AND URBAN PLANNING: BARCELONA FROM 1842 THROUGH TO 1992

Authors

  • Manuel Ribas y Piera

Abstract

The author sets out to make a new reading of Barcelona's city planning in which he argues that the «Idea of the City» subsequent to the pulling down of its defensive walls in 1859 has lingered on through to our own times and this despite all that anything political, theoretical or administrative could do to make the feat impossible, so much so that the idea still remains the guide line to even Barcelona 1992. In the light of this demonstration, the paper then offers warnings that it holds to be especially warrantable in these days of «fatigued democracy» against technocratic neocaptalism and its modes of setting about a city, the which are felt to be conducive to a putting aside of that utopic concept, ito projects and such ideas as have been the bed rock of what has hitherto been an overall goal of this city, its setting and its region.
