Abstract

25 years after the completion of “Las Rondas de Dalt y Del Litoral” in Barcelona, changes in the project’s scenarios and their posterior phenomena are readily identifiable. These changes are recurrent in the city’s bypass roads and the effectiveness of initial improvements that favored mobility has diminished over time. Nevertheless, the project remains relevant for its implementation of pass-through displacements (characteristic of Barcelona’s ring roads) and local displacements in peripheral neighborhoods. Starting with a dynamic section, flexible based on the data from the territory of implementation, the design reduced common issues with these types of infrastructures and was able to seamlessly structure and shape many fragments of the city that composed the periphery of Barcelona at that time. Faced with new scenarios in the metropolitan area and challenges in current mobility, this project deserves review once again as it provides conceptual insight that is relevant to possible solutions.
