Population deconcentration and social restructuring in Barcelona, a European Mediterranean city
AbstractThis paper explores the processes of deconcentration or suburbanization in the Barcelona metropolitan area in Catalonia, Spain. In it I describe the major social forces driving changing land-use patterns and posit the question: Is there a particularly Mediterranean form of urban deconcentration? Although the growing preference of Catalans for a life at the urban periphery in some ways mimics American patterns of suburbanization, I argue that there are limits to the applicability of Anglo-American theories of deconcentration for the Mediterranean city. After briefly setting out the historical context for urban development in Barcelona, I describe the changing morphology of the city in recent years and explore the major trends—the pursuit of security, immigration from the developing world, changing family structures, among others—that make the process of deconcentration in Barcelona particularly Mediterranean in character.
