The micro-morphology of urban retail
This article examines the architectural configuration of urban ground floors and the pivotal role of land tenure in shaping the retail landscape. By investigating the elements that drive urban intensity at the pavement level, the study identifies plot morphology as a primary determinant of ground-floor permeability and functional diversity. Using four chamfered corners within the regular grid of Barcelona’s Eixample as case studies, the research …
Shaping Equitable Access to Food
This article examines the interplay between urban planning, public policy, and food systems, focusing on the city of Barcelona as a case study. The study explores the historical shaping of access to fresh food by public urban policies and planning, ensuring a balanced territorial distribution across the city while addressing broader implications for public health, social equity, and sustainability. The analysis begins with an overview of Barcelon…
Measuring Food Supply Through Closeness and Betweenness
This article presents an approach to food procurement systems employing the concepts of closeness and betweenness. The objective is to define tools for measuring proximity related to food supply within dense urban contexts, where procurement is guaranteed but is still an essentiality that affects the quality of life of residents. This is due to the structured network that supports everyday movements, where food providers function as catalysts for…
Forms and patterns of mixticity in compact cities. Mixed-use synergies in the Sagrada Familia neighbourhood of Barcelona
This article explores empirical and objective approaches to combinations of non-residential activities in contemporary urban settings. The research measures the mix of uses in compact cities through the analysis of an urban fragment of Barcelona with high population density that is strolled around daily by thousands of tourists and intensified by a unique combination of daily services, commercial uses and productive activities. The resulting cart…
Supplying Barcelona
The origin of Barcelona’s food system can be determined at the time when open-air markets were moved to covered spaces. Since then, market halls have adapted to many different scenarios: they have been the built form of public support for food sanitary control, a guarantee of quality and variety of edibles or a tool for the regeneration of urban fabrics. While in the second half of the twentieth-century comparable market systems in other European…
Mapping Food and Health Premises in Barcelona. An Approach to Logics of Distribution and Proximity of Essential Urban Services
The research analyzes the image of Barcelona and compares differences in quantity, variety and proximity of some essential services in diverse urban fragments. Focusing on food and health premises as critical universal services, series of maps provide overviews on the intensity of use to which each service is subjected, latent logics of their physical proximity and performance in regular urban fabrics due to the combination of activities and popu…
