Barcelona Regional - by Barcelona Regional Agency (Mixed Media Product)

Book Synopsis

The urban development of Barcelona and its metropolitan environment through the trajectory of the Barcelona Regional Agency and a reflection on the ring roads of Barcelona and its surrounding territory. This publication wants to be much more than an institutional memory of the works that Barcelona Regional has developed in the last 25 years. It is a double publication with a unique design that wants to emphasize the role of the agency as an instrument of discussion and innovation for the City Council and the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona. The publication is divided into two volumes that are integrated into a single box. The first volume, Barcelona Regional, past and present, focuses on the people who have directed and worked at the agency, and the most emblematic projects that they have developed during these 25 years. The second volume, Ring roads Barcelona, present and future, wants to be an open reflection on the future of the metropolitan cities, using the case study of the ring roads of Barcelona to rethink their impacts as a territorial border.
