Abstract

The project to transform the Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes in Barcelona from a space dedicated to motorized traffic into a large urban park with the role of a central public space for Barcelona is integrated into a citywide network of linear parks and its design is based on the principles of urban ecology. Since its creation in the Ensanche Plan, all the proposals for Les Glòries were aimed at transforming this site into the centre of Barcelona. Although Les Glòries has been a disruptive urban element for most of its history, every time urban planners have sought to redefine its function it has been conceived as a unifying urban element. The different debates on the successive transformations of the site may provide insights into the thoughts, expectations and uncertainties in the minds of the urban planners as to how they believed the city centre should be developed.

摘要

将巴塞罗那的 Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes 从一个专门用于机动交通的空间改造成一个大型城市公园，作为巴塞罗那的中央公共空间的项目被整合到一个全市范围的线性公园网络中，其设计基于城市生态学原理。自从在恩桑奇计划中创建以来, Les Glòries 的所有提案都旨在将这个地点转变为巴塞罗那的中心。尽管 Les Glòries 在其历史的大部分时间里一直是一个破坏性的城市元素，但每次城市规划者试图重新定义其功能时，它都被视为一个统一的城市元素。关于场地连续改造的不同争论可能有助于深入了解城市规划者心中的想法、期望和不确定性，即他们认为应该如何发展市中心。
