  • Transforming Barcelona: the Renewal of a European Metropolis/Edited by Tim Marshall
    Transforming Barcelona Barcelona is perhaps the European city that has become most renowned for successfully “remaking” itself in the last 20 years. This image has been spread cumulatively around the world by books, television and internet sites, as well as by films and the use of the city in advertisements. This book is about the reality behind that image. It describes how the governors, professional planners and architects, and, in a wider sense, the people of the city and of Catalonia brought about the succession of changes which began around 1980. Transforming Barcelona is made up of chapters by those involved in the changes and by local experts who have been observing the changes year by year. Particular emphasis is placed on the political leadership and on the role of professionals, especially architects, in catalysing and implementing urban change. Other chapters look closely at the way that the treatment of public space became a key ingredient of what has been termed the “Barcelona model”. Critiques of this model consider from two different perspectives — environmental and cultural — how far the generally acclaimed successes stand up to full analysis. The book is fully illustrated and contains an up-to-date bibliography of writings on the city in English. This book will be of particular interest to those studying or practising in the fields of urban regeneration, urban design and urban geography, as well as all those fascinated by the multiple dimensions of the current transformation of older cities. No other book is available in English that provides such extensive understanding of Barcelona from authoritative local participants and observers.
