Tour Information
Surrounded by the hills of Collserola, the Mediterranean Sea and the two rivers Besòs and Llobregat, Barcelona is limited in its spatial development and characterized by an exceptionally high density.
Against this scenario, urban landscape design proves even more crucial for community health. While urban green space and recreational areas are increasingly viewed as essential, their creation within the consolidated city fabric poses a challenge and requires new approaches.
Discover Barcelona’s heterogeneous urban landscape through a series of hybrid urban spaces with intertwining functions
The superposition and skillful interweaving of large-scale urban infrastructures with public spaces form the basis of numerous projects, which convince through their high level of urbanity and spatial quality and act as an extended patio for the city’s inhabitants.
In this tour, we take a look at complex interventions that have reshaped Barcelona’s citycape in recent years by integrating both hard and soft infrastructures.
