DESCRIPTION
This course aims to explain the history and evolution of the City of Barcelona from its foundation by the Romans in the year 20 BC to the present day politics of the City Hall. The perspectives used will be those of Urbanism, political interventions in the city and urban sociology. Architecture will also be treated during the presentations but will not be one of the most important elements during the semester. As well as studying the evolution of the City of Barcelona students will compare this Mediterranean City to other realities like the Baroque capitals: Madrid, Paris, London or Moscow; or the business centers linked to a port like New York or Singapore. Last but not least, we will cover the evolution of the modern, informal urban centers in developing countries.
