Abstract

This article is published as part of a Master Thesis in Urbanism focusing on the interior open spaces (IOS) of Barcelona’s Eixample city blocks. This new type of public space evolves from the transformation of its most representative structure. The article focuses on the urban process led by Barcelona’s City Council to gain open spaces within a fully built area; an essential fact, although not fully appreciated. The objective of this paper is to put on the spotlight this urban process, its continuity in time and space, and its different stages. The article analyses the efforts of Barcelona’s City Council to make a virtue of necessity through accurate analysis, diagnose and intervention, thus managing to find innovative solutions to solve the problems of a compact city. The success of this urban project reflects the need to continue and reinforce the process in order to fully achieve the goals aimed.
