CERDA/ 150 YEARS OF MODERNITY

This book is a tribute to the first modern urban planner and his product: the Eixample, which is today the thriving and undisputed center of the Barcelona metropolitan area. The city of Barcelona as constructed over the last 150 years on the strength of Ildefons Cerdà's 1859, Project for the Reform and Expansion, bears living witness to the modernity of a way of thinking and making the city.
