Pilar; Muxí Martínez, Zaida; Queraltó Ros, Pau Abstract: En la última década tanto las ciudades catalanas como las del resto del Estado Español, han sufrido importantes modificaciones en su morfología física y social debido a la llegada de numerosa población inmigrante. Esta población se localiza en unas zonas determinadas de nuestras ciudades y tiene unos patrones de asentamiento residencial diferentes a los de la población nativa. Asimismo, las características de sus viviendas y el uso que hacen del espacio público son diferentes a los del resto de la población. En esta ponencia se profundizará en el uso que hace la población inmigrante del espacio público en la Región Metropolitana de Barcelona, qué espacios públicos y qué equipamientos utilizan y si estos se ajustan a sus necesidades cotidianas; qué variables tienen mayor incidencia en este uso (edad, género, procedencia); como interactúa esta población con el resto de población del barrio; qué tipo de usos hacen del espacio público; cómo se relacionan la configuración física y social del espacio….Asimismo, se intentará detallar más escuetamente cuáles son las características habitacionales de esta población: cómo son sus casas y cómo acceden a ella. El ámbito territorial de la investigación es la Región Metropolitana de Barcelona. La investigación se desarrolla en distintos barrios de la RMB con diferentes características urbanísticas y demográficas, pero que tienen en común que cuentan con una concentración de población inmigrante superior a la media de la RMB. La metodología empleada es una combinación de técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas. // In the last decade both the Catalan cities as the rest of Spain, has undergone major changes in their physical and social morphology due to the arrival of large immigrant populations. This population is located in specific areas of our cities and has a residential settlement patterns different from the native population. Furthermore, the characteristics of their homes and their use of public space are different from the rest of the population. This paper will delve into the use by the immigrant population of public space in the metropolitan area of Barcelona, what public spaces and what equipment they use and if they fit their daily needs, what variables have the greatest impact in this application (age, gender, origin), as this population interacts with the rest of the neighborhood population, and what kinds of uses made of public space, and how are the physical and social space .... It will try to detail more succinctly what characteristics housing for this population: how are their homes and how to access it. The territorial scope of the research is the metropolitan area of Barcelona. The research is conducted in different districts of the RMB with different urban and demographic characteristics, but they have in common that have a concentration of immigrant population than the average of the RMB. The methodology is a combination of quantitative and qualitative. 2011-03-30T10:22:46Z http://hdl.handle.net/2117/11735 Title: Rethinking Pilgrimage through the Theories of Architectural Character and the Picturesque Authors: Garcia Fuentes, Josep Maria 2011-03-08T19:22:57Z http://hdl.handle.net/2117/11734 Title: The construction of the Eixample in the transformation of contemporary Barcelona.

Abstract: Aquest projecte introdueix millores de disseny(en accessibilitat i mobilitat urbana) als vehicles elèctrics per transport de persones. Ho fa combinant tecnologies prou conegudes i assajades, que són: la de les motocicletes amb dues rodes al davant i una al darrera; la dels vehicles amb accés frontal i, finalment, la de les butaques amb reclinació i ajuda a la incorporació. Els principals avantatges d’aquest disseny són els següents: facilita el seu ús per persones amb discapacitats motrius, és un vehicle adaptat que no necessita places d’aparcament especials, i ocupa només un terç de la superfície d’aparcament d’un automòbil convencional. 2010-07-12T10:57:04Z http://hdl.handle.net/2117/7955 Title: Accessible heritage Authors: Bordas Eddy, Marta; Usandizaga Calparsoro, Miguel M. Abstract: LOCUS –“Let’s Open Cities for Us” is an Erasmus Intensive Program that analyzes the problems related to mobility and accessibility within historic centers characterized by steep complicated topographic sites and with important patrimonial inheritance. The interest resides in solving accessibility in constructed environments where any intervention is object of most reluctant judgments. The aim is to improve the relationships between architecture and society: architects must design an environment suitable for all individuals equally; not only thinking those with different capabilities as “special cases”, limiting them to special accesses, restricted spaces and alternative itineraries to reach their destinations. The objective of giving equal access regardless different people’s capacities and without attempting on the city’s heritage is to research on an intelligent architecture able to solve individual needs globally and conceive an accessible environment capable to stimulate all senses, able to provide the perception of beauty and harmony by everybody. 2010-07-01T11:20:04Z http://hdl.handle.net/2117/7511 Title: Retailing and proximity in a liveable city: the case of Barcelona public markets system Authors: Guàrdia Bassols, Manuel; Oyón Bañales, José Luis; Fava, Nadia Abstract: Retailing and especially food retailing has always been a fundamental element for the organization of the compact and more liveable city furthering the relations of proximity. From the nineteenth century specially the system of public markets acquired very considerable importance and was considered one of the basic service of metropolis in the urban planning policy. Despite this, liberal policies, new modes of transportation, delivery and selling, along with suburban growth and the relative commercial “sprawl”, arising first in the cities in northern Europe and in the United States, undermined the development and conservation of this traditional public element, associated intimately with the compact city. In some southern and eastern European cities, markets are still functional landmarks. In Barcelona they have proven their considerable urban potential. In the 1980s, the extensive network of neighbourhood markets were seen as very effective focal points for restructuring a retail sector. Since then, municipal intervention in the reorganization of the city’s markets and their immediate surroundings has formed part of an urban planning vision integrated into the defence of the neighbourhood structure, of close contact and, definitely, of the compact city. Barcelona has a clear policy of limiting oligopolies, and large commercial areas are seen as a threat to the equilibrium that allows for the coexistence of the traditional city and a high population density which helps to support public spending for the construction and administration of public markets, but also to enjoy the derived benefits. 2010-06-03T15:11:20Z http://hdl.handle.net/2117/6731 Title: Urban social movements: gender approaches Authors: Muxí Martínez, Zaida; Magro Huertas, Tania Abstract: At the end of the 60’s the so called Urban Social Movements were groups that coming from different locally rooted entities or associations, asked for new approaches to planning that meant taking care of people’s needs and memories. As a result of the experience that came from the gendered division of work, duties and spaces women had a deep and broad knowledge of the urban circumstances. At the very beginning of the Urban Social Movements in Barcelona we could find women’s meetings where they asked for better condition of living, claiming for better and safer public spaces, more public facilities for daily life and better public transport, all of these with the aim to allow everyone, but specially women, to conciliated public, personal and family life. 2010-03-19T16:49:52Z http://hdl.handle.net/2117/6730 Title: Conditions for new neighborhoods Authors: Muxí Martínez, Zaida; Casanovas Marfà, Roser Abstract: Concepts and criteria for creating new neighborhoods based particularly on considering everyday life as prime factor.

The point 6 of the law is about the promotion of equal opportunities in the use of public facilities and public spaces by the means of urban renovation. A comparative analysis of a selection of the proposals submitted so far, and an on-site analysis of the projects already completed will permit to draw the evolution of the application of gender perspective on urban planning. Summing up, this research could be the opportunity to review what has been done and how, giving as result new recommendations for next interventions to be applying the gender perspective in urban planning. 2010-03-19T16:38:06Z
