Public Space in Metropolitan Barcelona: Interventions and Conversations - Paperback

by Amb (Author)

The Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB) has a clear commitment in compiling and presenting an overview of the projects it has carried out during the last 35 years. Therefore, it has edited and published a collection of books on completed public space works.

This volume is the sixth one of the collection, with works from 2018 to 2022.
In catalogue form, Public Space in Metropolitan Barcelona highlights the interventions, classified under different headings, which have defined the key values this period. The content is divided into six chapters: park space, water space, covered space, renovated space, urban space and mobility space.

Overall, the volume displays 56 projects selected from the 265 actually built during the period.
For each chapter, the journalist Anatxu Zabalbeascoa conducts an interview with two experts that give their points of view from inside and outside the metropolitan Administration. Two reflections from the architects in charge of AMB urban planning and public space complete the volume.
