  • The Historic Charter of Barcelona (CHB)
    e-Perimetron, Vol. 14, No. 1, 2019 [38-50] www.e-perimetron.org | ISSN 1790-3769 Mar Santamaria-Varas , Pablo Martinez-Diez The Historic Charter of Barcelona (CHB) Keywords: cartography; digitisation; history. Summary: This paper presents the development of the Historic Charter of Barcelona. The CHB is a research compiling, to date, all knowledge about the urban history of the city and its documentary and cartographic sources via an online tool made for researchers and citizens with the aim of explaining the history of Barcelona through 26 maps. Introduction From the foundation of Barcino around 10 BC, Barcelona has been exhaustively drawn. The number and diversity of cartographic representations of the city is massive, since portolan charts mapping the seas in the fourteenth century to contemporary digital maps imagining 1992 Olympic City. This cartographic construction has eventually consolidated the imagery of the city. Perspectives and maps reflect the distinctive social and economic conditions of each period to the point of becoming a powerful instrument that will serve, especially from the nineteenth century, to project the image of the city into the future (Santamaria-Varas & Diez-Martinez, 2016). The first images of the city placed special emphasis on the topography of the territory and the control of the waterfront and walls. If the portolan charts (Pujades, 2007) of Vallseca (1444) and Bertran (1456, 1489) represented a partial vision of Barcelona focusing on emblematic Montjuïc, the Hill defining- element of the city viewed from the sea (Fig. 1), the first global images of Barcelona created by painters and travellers such as Anton Van Wyndergaerde (1563).

  • Bolstering Community Ties and Its Effect on Crime
    Bolstering community ties and its effect on crime: Evidence from a quasi-random experiment Magdalena Dom´ınguez and Daniel Montolio∗ Work in progress - Do not cite without permission This version: February 2019 Abstract In this paper we study the effect of bolstering community ties on local crime rates. To do so, we take advantage of the quasi-random nature of the implementation of a community health policy in the city of Barcelona. Salut als Barris (BSaB) is a policy that through community-based initiatives and empowerment of citizenship aims at improving health outcomes and reducing inequalities of the most disadvantaged neighborhoods. Based on economic and sociological literature it is also arguable that it may affect other relevant variables for overall welfare, such as crime rates. In order to test such a hypothesis, we use monthly data at the neighborhood level and a staggered Differences-in-Differences approach. Overall we find that BSaB highly reduces crimes related to non-cognitive features as well as those where there is a very close personal link (labeled as home crimes), with responses ranging from 9% to 18%. Additionally, female victimization rates drop for all age groups as well as the offense rates of younger cohorts. We argue that such outcomes are due to stronger community ties. Such results provide evidence in favor of non-traditional crime preventing policies. Keywords: crime; community action; differences-in-differences. JEL codes: C23, I18, I28, J18. ∗Dept. of Economics, University of Barcelona and IEB: [email protected] ; [email protected] We are grateful to Elia Diez and Maribel Pasarin at the Barcelona Public Health Agency (ASPB) and IGOP researchers Raquel Gallego and Ernesto Morales at Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) for their insightful comments on the program.

  • BREU HISTÒRIA DE LA DIAGONAL Lluís Permanyer
    BREU HISTÒRIA DE LA DIAGONAL Lluís Permanyer La Diagonal és el carrer més important del Pla de l’Eixample. L’urbanista Ildefons Cerdà li va atorgar unes característiques que el singularitzen en el sentit físic: llargada, amplada i posició. Els seus onze kilòmetres, els noranta- dos metres de la zona universitària i la forma com talla la trama de les mansanes evidencia un protagonisme indiscutible. Supera el Paral·lel i la Meridiana, que constituïen el que Cerdà va qualificar com a “via transcendental”, és a dir, avingudes ràpides per unir nuclis de població allunyats. En aquest cas: Sarrià, Gràcia, Clot i Poblenou. Totes tres van ser les úniques que van rebre de Cerdà el nom, ja que els altres carrers van ser batejats per Víctor Balaguer. El seu desenvolupament va ser més aviat lent i en tres grans etapes ben diferenciades. PRIMERA ETAPA La primera etapa va girar al voltant de la influència del passeig de Gràcia. En efecte, el 1884 va començar amb timidesa l’urbanització entre l’esmentat passeig i Pau Claris. El 1896 s’estenia ja entre Bruc i Tuset, que no era res més que el camp del mateix nom, que era el del mas i el seu propietari. El 1901 aquell extrem de la nova Barcelona era tan inhòspit, que el marquès de Robert es reconeixia més segur portant pistola en arribar tard a casa, quan venia del Liceu. Es curiós que abans d’acabar segle XIX (1891) li fos canviat el nom, almenys en aquell sector evocat fins ara, i que pertanyia a Gràcia; li van atorgar el d’ Argüelles.

  • Máster En Edificación Tesina De Fin De Máster La Prolongación De La Calle
    MÁSTER EN EDIFICACIÓN TESINA DE FIN DE MÁSTER LA PROLONGACIÓN DE LA CALLE BALMES Y SU UNIÓN CON LA AVENIDA TIBIDABO Estudiante: Manuel Val Jiménez Directora: Maribel Rosselló Nicolau Convocatoria: Junio 2011 La prolongación de la calle Balmes y su unión con la avenida Tibidabo 1 RESUMEN Esta tesina estudia la historia de la prolongación de la calle Balmes, desde la avenida Diagonal hasta la avenida del Tibidabo. Se muestra la evolución de la calle hasta su conversión en una de las arterias más importantes de la ciudad, y se ponen de manifiesto las motivaciones principales de su apertura, la comunicación del barrio de Sant Gervasi con el Ensanche y, posteriormente, ya con el éxito de las primeras atracciones del Tibidabo, el acercamiento de esta montaña a la ciudad. Para ello, se ha estructurado el trabajo en cuatro partes. La primera hace referencia a los orígenes de la calle Balmes, que nace con el proyecto de Cerdá, y a su trazado, que queda en esa época truncado en la avenida Diagonal. También habla sobre el Ferrocarril de Sarrià que discurría por el exterior de la calle desde sus inicios y que después será protagonista en su transformación. La segunda parte, ya en el siglo XX, lleva al lector a los primeros intentos de prolongación de la calle motivados por la agregación de los municipios vecinos a la ciudad de Barcelona en 1897 y a la urbanización de la montaña del Tibidabo a partir de 1901. En este apartado, tiene una importancia vital la Asociación de Propietarios de San Gervasio que con sus proyectos, que se compararán con los de Jaussely, y su tesón, acabó convenciendo al Ayuntamiento para involucrarse en esta operación.
