Media framing and political discourse of Barcelona's urban transformations (2016–2024)
Stability in the urban center and volatility in the periphery
We analyze shifts in weekday travel across the Barcelona Metropolitan Region (RMB) with particular attention to peri-urban and suburban areas that remain less studied than the core city. Using the regional travel survey EMEF for 2012, 2018 and 2023, we track trips per resident and modal shares for eight metropolitan zones. Two main dynamics emerge. First, intrazonal travel, meaning trips made within the resident’s own zone, declined from 2012 to …
The effects of pedestrianization on commercial dynamics a quasi-experimental study in Barcelona
Cities worldwide are increasingly implementing pedestrianization policies to enhance urban livability, promote sustainable mobility, and stimulate local economic activity. However, while these interventions are often celebrated for revitalizing public space, their potential role in triggering processes of commercial gentrification remains underexplored. This study investigates whether pedestrianization has contributed to commercial gentrification…
Understanding multimodal mobility patterns of micromobility users in urban environments
Micromobility, which includes bicycle-sharing systems, e-scooters, and shared moped-style scooters, has emerged as a popular alternative to traditional transport modes in urban environments, thus expanding the number of transportation options available to urban travellers. Previous research has primarily relied on trip-based data to explore the multimodal character of micromobility. However, existing evidence has failed to understand the ways in …
Perceived vs. objective gentrification
Gentrification dynamics have been examined worldwide through diverse methodologies. While some scholars focus on objective sociodemographic changes indicating gentrification, others explore residents’ perceptions of neighborhood change. However, little effort has been made to correlate both measures. This paper addresses this gap by investigating whether residents in objectively gentrified neighborhoods accurately perceive gentrification. Using s…
When more isn't better
In the face of growing urban inequalities and polarization, promoting social cohesion is essential for improving quality of life and resilience. While urban vitality—characterized by dense, mixed-use, and accessible environments—is often seen as a driver of social cohesion, the relationship between these factors remains unclear. This study addresses this gap by examining how different conditions of urban vitality affect social cohesion in five Sp…
The impact of proximity to amenities on housing affordability
Research on the 15-minute city has greatly expanded over the last decade, yet little has been studied about how this urban model affects access to affordable housing. This paper examines the relationship between proximity to everyday amenities and rental prices in four Spanish cities (Barcelona, Valencia, Palma, and Granada) that already meet the requirements of a 15-minute city. Spatial analysis and segmented regressions are employed to account …
Can proximity forge strong bonds? Exploring the relationship between urban proximity and social cohesion at the neighbourhood level
Social cohesion is negatively associated with distance to daily destinations. • This negative association is mediated by individuals’ perceptions of proximity. • Perceived distance amplifies the effect of destination proximity on social cohesion. • Planning focussed on local access to services and amenities is key to social cohesion. • More research is needed on how perceptions of distance to destinations form. Urban proximity has recently regain…
Unpacking the docked bike-sharing experience. A bike-along study on the infrastructural constraints and determinants of everyday bike-sharing use
Cycling for transportation is increasingly recognised as a core strategy to combat the climate emergency, particularly in urban environments. In this frame, bike-sharing systems offer a valuable opportunity to attract new users to cycling and promote sustainable mobility. However, the rapid growth in the use of these schemes has exposed critical gaps, such as insufficient cycling infrastructure, system saturation, or poor integration with other t…
Decoding the 15-Minute City Debate
Science skeptics have spent years attacking climate science, but it has only been recently that post-COVID-19 conspiracy theorists have directed their attention to local city planning, with misinformation campaigns throwing vitriol at the idea of the 15-minute city and denouncing planning best practices as a global form of social engineering with hidden agendas to restrict private freedoms. In this context, urban planners and practitioners need t…

Los hallazgos …
Unravelling retail diversity through its spatial relationship with social vulnerability and tourism pressures in Barcelona
Diversity in retail and facilities is essential for creating proximity environments. Most analyses have focused on either built environment predictors or the balance between diversity and social vulnerability and tourism, but little is known of their interrelationship. Using georeferenced data of retail and facilities in Barcelona (Spain), the study shows that diversity is positively associated with compact and dense environments, but negatively …
The social implications of the vital city model
Previous studies have identified vital urban spaces through the concentration of people, the diversity of land uses and buildings, accessibility, and the existence of a compact urban fabric. However, the relationship between urban vitality and social sustainability has not been studied in these terms. This paper seeks to analyse the social implications of the vital city model for residents in the context of a Latin American city: Santiago de Chil…
Are vital neighbourhoods socially privileged? Exploring the spatial relationship between urban vitality and urban vulnerability
The built environment plays a key role in everyday wellbeing, as well-designed and accessible environments help fulfil people’s daily needs and activities. Of special relevance is the urban vitality concept of Jane Jacobs, a core principle of local planning strategies worldwide, which is used as an indicator of street vibrancy and quality of life among city residents. However, the promotion of her ideas on dense, lively, and diverse neighbourhood…
How do superblock interventions influence health? A scoping review
Cities are implementing interventions to radically transform public space and urban transportation networks. While these interventions are urgently needed, many questions remain regarding their impacts on health, and how they can be effectively replicated. In the case of Superblock interventions, it is assumed they have the potential to significantly improve urban environments and health. This study aims to identify the empirical evidence on Supe…
Pathways to 15-Minute City adoption
In recent months, 15-min city policies have faced significant backlash across social media, in opinion pieces, and even through street demonstrations, casting doubt on the future of x-minute city policies as effective tools in the fight against climate change. The protests and backlash not only challenge the effective implementation of x-minute city policies, but also highlight our lack of understanding regarding which acceptability factors affec…

Sixty-seven articles were included in the analysis, primarily covering e-bikes and e-scooters. The determinants were categorise…
E-scooter and bike-share route choice and detours
Micromobility is often presented as a sustainable, affordable, and active urban transport option, in comparison to motorised modes. Understanding users routing preferences could help policymakers adapt and design facilities that attract a myriad of micromobility users. Whereas previous research largely focused solely on the built infrastructure, the ways in which sociodemographic factors affect micromobility route choice and infrastructure prefer…
Youth Perception of Urban Vitality
Promoting urban vitality has become an increasingly important focus among urban planners in the last decade. However, most definitions about what urban vitality consists of are based on quantitative methods, while the meaning and implications of vitality also need to be understood qualitatively. We conducted a study based on the PhotoVoice method in a low-income district in Barcelona, Spain, to explore how vitality is constructed among young peop…
Accounting for care in everyday mobility
Since care is an essential part of our individual and collective survival, there is the challenge to explore how care operates through daily mobility patterns in urban settings. This paper utilizes the concept of 'mobility of care' to quantitatively assess care-related trips in the Barcelona Metropolitan Region (BMR) using an official household travel survey. We analyse the factors linked to care-related trips at the individual, household, and te…
Barcelona under the 15-Minute City Lens
Many academics, urban planners and policymakers subscribe to the benefits of implementing the concept of the 15-Minute City (FMC) in metropolises across the globe. Despite the interest raised by the concept, and other variants of chrono-urbanism, to date, only a few studies have evaluated cities from the FMC perspective. Most studies on the subject also lack a proper well-defined methodology that can properly assess FMC conditions. In this contex…
A gender analysis of everyday mobility in urban and rural territories
Gender differences in mobility patterns between women and men have long been acknowledged. This study analyses how these differences are reproduced in different urban and rural contexts. Using mobility data from a large travel survey taken in 2006 in Spain, we examine the differences between gender mobility through age, modal split and trip purposes. Special attention is paid to how territory shapes mobility and how these territorial settings dif…
