Barriosand the Hispanic American city: Cultural value and social representation
This paper explores the historical development ofbarrios in Hispanic American colonial cities. Emphasis is placed on the physical, social and functional aspects that made thebarrios a unique place of work, culture and residence. Over time thebarrio shifted in location from the edge to the middle of the colonial city. Factors contributing to the decline of thebarrio as a neighbourhood design type include new forms of suburban development, modernization of urban codes and regulations, transformation of city scale, and the change in work and residence locations. The paper concludes with an analysis of what possible contemporary efforts might recreate thebarrio as a placemaking element and a cultural enclave.
