Abstract

The middle stretch of the River Ripoll went from being an open-air sewer to a peri-urban park in the second metropolitan area of Barcelona. The study of this project will allow us to verify the following hypothesis: the river spaces project must arise from strategies that arise from the study of work layers. This study will lead to fragmented projects, which at all times will take into account interdisciplinary, interscalar work that ensures good management of water resources. For this, two documents initiated by the municipality of Sabadell in the eighties and nineties that allowed changing the dramatic situation of the river will be studied: “The organization of Ripoll in Sabadell. Urban and environmental history” and the “Comprehensive Ripoll Improvement Plan”. Finally, there will be a critique of the project carried out taking into account the current view.
