Abstract or Description

Drawing on the expertise of urban planner Javi Ortigosa and photographer and researcher Laura Cuch, this five-kilometer walk is a journey through urban fabric transitions that show various phases of city growth and transformation. The walk will emphasise the public space and what people make of it, paying attention to its provision and quality, as well as how it coexists with non-coherent urban development policies. We will also consider ways of visually interpreting urban change and adaptation. From the edge of the left side of Eixample, through the neighbourhood of Sants and crossing the boundary with Torrassa in Hospitalet, we will visit public, social and infrastructural enclaves that evidence the cohabitation of different temporalities, communities and more or less successful projects and visions of public city life.
