Abstract

The cities of Sabadell and Terrassa and their hinterlands,despite being separated by just 4 Km, have never formed an urban conurbation. The structure of this territory, consisting of two urban sub systems, has defined its geomorphological structure, which is located between two hydrographic systems, the Besos river and the Llobregat river. This feature of the territory hinted night September 25, 1962, when the cities were flooded. Fifty years after the fact, these river areas have become the best urban areas of those cities. The subject of this study is to analyze these urban projects in order to find guidelines to act in other river areas, and to defend that these are the major areas of opportunity in structuring the metropolis.
