📆Wednesday 09 October at 18:00 From 9 October to 22 November 2024 Exhibition organized by the Municipal Archives of Barcelona The current landscape of Barcelona is eminently urban. Agriculture, however, has not completely disappeared from the city, although, over time, it has acquired new social, environmental and political functions. This exhibition aims to show, through the documentation kept in the District Municipal Archives, the importance, survival and transformations of the rural function of the territory of the Barcelona plan. In the 19th century, the push for industrialization and urban densification redefined the link between city and countryside. The city was expanding at an unprecedented speed and scale and the existing infrastructure was insufficient to guarantee the health and supply of the population. The administrations responded to the problem by regulating, planning and innovating. Many of the urban projects from that moment would promote the benefits of living in less densified environments and close to nature. Today, rural Barcelona survives in the longing of the urban population to reconnect with the territory that sustains and nourishes it, a last harvest that claims the city’s rural past and produces new socio-ecological imaginaries. #cultura #santandreu #activitats #ultimacollita #arxiumunicipal #centrescivics #CentresCivicsBCN District of Sant Andreu BCNCultura.cat Civic Centers of Barcelona Municipal Archive of Barcelona
