Barcelona, Metropolis of Cities

It is an exhibition of the Barcelona metropolitan territory, and its recent transformations. It was organized by Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona and presented in Barcelona early 2015 and gets a new format at Graduate School of Design, Harvard University in fall 2016.
Barcelona: Metropolis of Cities presents a series of critical urban developments since the 1980s that created new ambition for Barcelona and the metropolitan cities surrounding it. At the same time it cast new light on current European developments and provides examples of urban projects and strategies that engage contemporary challenges from a wide host of cities. The Exhibition opens up the debate to highlight the extent to which twenty-first-century ecological, economic, and social issues are giving shape to new urban forms. Concerns for the environment, energy, sustainable mobility, and social equity (among others) characterize new urban strategies in many different contexts around the world that enable cities to function more efficiently and effectively.
