SUMMARY:Cities for Everyone: The City We Want Barcelona
DESCRIPTION:Towards The City We Want\, BarcelonaGuest: \nXavier Matilla. City Architect & Planner\, Professor.\nBarcelona\, Spain \nTuesday\, September 5th\, 2023\n11:00 AM EST/5:00 PM CET \nAbout: \nXavier Matilla was Chief Architect of the city of Barcelona between October 2019 – June 2023. During this period\, he has directed many urban transformations with the aim of achieving a healthier\, friendlier and fairer city. Highlight being the “Barcelona Superblock” project\, internationally recognized as an effective strategy to transform city streets into spaces with better environmental quality and more l ABOUT his presentation: At a time when cities need new urban models to approach the future with optimism\, Barcelona has shown that it is possible to move towards a healthier\, kinder and fairer city for it citizens thanks to the Superilla Project. Barcelona is a compact and dense city\, with a polycentric urban model\, but it has a significant deficit of green areas and a problem with its car-centered mobility model. Car use takes up more than 50% of public space and is also the main source of atmospheric and noise pollution. Superilla aims to improve all the city’s streets\, while proposing a new\, more efficient mobility model through promoting public transport\, cycling and walking\, so that it takes up less room\, is healthier and pollutes less. This allows 1 out of every 3 streets to be freed up from through traffic\, and to transform them into new “green axes” in such a way that they “naturalise” the city and promote local activities and social relationships\, constituting a true environmental and social infrastructure\, a true systemic change. During the last 4 years Xavi Matilla has promoted the project\, defining a vision of the future for the whole city and at the same time executing a phase with 4 new green axes (4.65 Km / 10Ha) and 4 new squares (1Ha) that allow to demonstrate that it is possible to move towards the city we want. \nLearn more and register here!
