RURALIZE THE URBAN

In these times in which we seek to improve the urban quality of cities, that saying that Ildefons Cerdà uttered in the middle of the 19th century in his theory of urbanization and that advocated the ruralization of the urban area is fully valid in crowded areas more than 150 years later. contemporary metropolises in which the principles of density and compactness have been taken to extremes that are paradoxically contradictory to those proposed by urban planners and in which the supposed quality of urban air is one of the workhorses that European public administrations want to tackle One of the solutions to expand the territory has been the canned recreation of natural spaces within the urban continuum and what we know as a park, although in the case of Barcelona and considering its size there would be more gardens than previously indicated. The last performance of this type of space in my city dates back 20 years and this being the period that the designers conceive for the natural consolidation of a new space, I went for a walk to corroborate what was happening in the still new diagonal Mar park Conceived by Enric Miralles with landsArt trends nature - architecture, who wins?
