Spatial and green experiences in the Catalonian capital

Abstract

Barcelona is no doubt the „cutting edge” in landscape architecture in Europe. It is a city where life quality is determined by ergonomic and anthropocentric design at all scales of open-spaces. The objects of everyday life, the Street furniture are not only functional and artistic, but of high standard, too; the streets and squares get new function and general design according to their
realistic role, the restoration and recreation of public parks follow clear design guidelines as well as a sustainable and environment-conscious approach. The renewal of the seaside area and its conscious fitting to the new residential district has transformed the cityscape and opened new dimensions to facilitate people's connection with water.
