City Field

Lined with heavy infrastructure and industrial activity, the two rivers that frame Barcelona are not just physical edges to the city, but also socioeconomic barriers. They hold areas with the lowest employment and education. The Llobregat is defined by heavy industrial and agricultural uses that separate pockets of urbanity. A 20min drive away from the city center, the proximity of the agricultural field proves significantly beneficial to the city’s metabolism. Yet, current situations of decay and negligence of the agricultural fields show an eventual urbanization of the fields. To preserve the significance of the agricultural culture during the urbanization process, a framework needs to be set to allow for the coexistence of the possibly conflicting entities.
