The document summarizes the Barcelona Cerdà model of urban planning and its focus on health through insolation and natural ventilation. It discusses how Cerdà's 19th century plan for Barcelona's Eixample district oriented streets and building morphology to maximize sunlight, ventilation, and public health based on contemporary scientific findings. Specific variables addressed included grid regularity, building depth and interior gardens, wide streets oriented diagonally, and chamfered block corners to increase sunlight access. Analysis of the plan's orientation shows it provides 46-50% sunlight in winter and summer compared to 26-21% for a orthogonal grid, demonstrating Cerdà's prioritization of health in urban design.
The Value of Spaces & Quality of Public LifeTink Newman
This document provides information about public spaces and quality of life in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Copenhagen now has a highly walkable and bikeable transportation system with fewer cars and less pollution. Public spaces prioritize human interaction and health. The document profiles Jan Gehl, an architect who advocated for pedestrian-focused design. It examines how Copenhagen created bike lanes and quiet streets to reduce traffic. Overall, the document outlines how Copenhagen rebuilt itself around public spaces and quality of life after fires destroyed parts of the city.
Ensanche, The Expansion of Barcelona, Cerda, BarcelonaNicholas Socrates
The document discusses the urban expansion and design of Barcelona's Eixample district. It was designed in the mid-19th century by Ildefonso Cerdá to accommodate the growing population and industrialization of Barcelona. Cerdá envisioned a grid-like plan with wide streets and square blocks to allow for light, ventilation, and public spaces. The plan aimed to improve public health and social equality. However, it faced opposition from the bourgeoisie and was initially modified. While it has undergone changes, Cerdá's plan formed the basis of the Eixample district, one of Barcelona's most iconic areas.
This document provides an overview of the history and evolution of urban planning through summaries of key figures and developments. It discusses the work of Frederick Law Olmsted in designing Central Park and shaping urban planning in New York City and Chicago. It also covers Haussmann's redesign of Paris in the 1850s and Robert Moses' impact on infrastructure and development projects in New York City in the 1900s. The document then introduces concepts from Jane Jacobs and new urbanist approaches to planning exemplified by Seaside, Florida.
The garden city movement was initiated by Ebenezer Howard in the late 19th century as a response to overcrowded and polluted cities. His ideal garden city would house 32,000 people on 6,000 acres in a concentric design with green spaces and boulevards. When full, another garden city would be developed nearby linked by transit. The goals were to combine the benefits of urban and rural life without their drawbacks by containing development and maintaining greenbelts. Some early examples that implemented Howard's principles included Letchworth Garden City in England and Radburn in New Jersey.
The document provides details about the town planning projects of architect Jose Luis Sert. It discusses several of his major projects from the 1940s-1950s, including plans for new towns in Brazil and Peru called Cidade dos Motores and Chimbote. For Chimbote, Sert designed compact clusters of patio houses arranged around green spaces and connected by pedestrian paths to community buildings. The plans aimed to preserve natural features while providing amenities suited to the local climate.

The document discusses Idefon Cerda's expansion plan for Barcelona from the 1850s. It examines how Cerda proposed a rational grid plan for Barcelona to accommodate major population growth from industrialization. Some key aspects of Cerda's plan included:
1. A symmetrical grid of streets tilted at 45 degrees to maximize sunlight.
2. Blocks designed with two sides built up and two sides left open for public space like parks and plazas.
3. Consideration for factors like housing density, ventilation, recreation and neighborhood services.
4. While rational, the plan accommodated existing major roads and allowed for architectural experimentation within blocks.
5. The plan created a framework that

The document discusses the Cà l'Aranyó area in Barcelona's 22@ district, which is home to the Pompeu Fabra University's campus for communication studies. It describes some of the university's buildings in the area, including the renovated former textile factory building of Cà l'Aranyó, and surrounding developments like the Torre Imagina building which houses the Mediapro production company. It also mentions that the Catalan Audiovisual Council (CAC) has located its new headquarters nearby in the 22@ district.
The document summarizes the garden city movement, which was initiated in 1898 by Ebenezer Howard in the UK. Garden cities were intended to be self-contained communities surrounded by greenbelts with proportionate areas of residences, industry, and agriculture. Two early examples are Letchworth Garden City and Welwyn Garden City, which were planned with concentric patterns, open spaces, and radial boulevards extending from a central area. The garden city model emphasized balanced development, connectivity between towns and countryside, and public ownership of land.

The document provides information about the Forum area in Barcelona, Spain. It describes how the area was previously used for obsolete industries but is now home to major infrastructure projects, including a large convention center designed to hold up to 15,000 attendees. It also details the public spaces and parks nearby, including a large plaza and marina, as well as beaches along the coast. The area is seen as a symbol of Barcelona's redevelopment for events like the 2004 Universal Forum of Cultures.
Urban planning has its origins in ancient civilizations like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro which had deliberately planned cities. In classical times, Greek philosophers like Hippodamus laid out cities in orthogonal grids. During medieval times, many new towns were built in Europe to gain power. In the 19th century, overcrowded industrial cities led to new ideas like Ebenezer Howard's Garden Cities which proposed self-sufficient towns surrounded by greenbelts. In the 20th century, planners like Le Corbusier proposed concepts like the Radiant City with high density apartment blocks separated by open spaces. Chandigarh was influenced by these ideas and became a model new town in post-colonial India
The document discusses Idelfon Cerdá's expansion plan for Barcelona in the 19th century. It analyzes how Cerdá designed an expansive grid plan for Barcelona to accommodate major population growth from industrialization. The plan included wide streets laid out in a grid with open block interiors to allow for light, air and public green spaces. While the grid appears uniform, it accommodated existing diagonal routes. Cerdá's plan was innovative in prioritizing public health, transport, and social needs through neighborhood unit design. Though his vision was idealistic, the flexibility of the grid allowed Barcelona to organically modify and densify over time in response to changing needs while maintaining some open space.

Barcelona has implemented several sustainable best practices for urban planning including public transportation, waste recycling, and urban design focused on walkability. Some highlights include the extensive metro and bus networks, household waste being collected and sorted into different containers for recycling, and the Eixample district being designed with large city blocks and chamfered corners to allow sunlight and ease of movement. The city also has many tourist attractions like La Sagrada Familia church, Picasso Museum, Las Ramblas street, and Camp Nou stadium. Barcelona promotes green energy through solar power and reducing emissions, and sources water from various companies and institutions while some citizens protest high water bill taxes.
This document discusses the concept of terroir and how it can be applied to urban agriculture projects in New York City. Terroir refers to how the unique environmental factors of a region influence quality and flavor. The document aims to show benefits of incorporating terroir by drawing on community culture. It reviews literature on urban agriculture projects in NYC and how some already promote local identity and taste experiences. Incorporating the idea of terroir more explicitly could empower projects by developing distinctive, artisanal products that represent their community's culture and traditions.
The document provides a history of the city of Ahmedabad from its founding in the 13th century to present day. It began as a city called Karnavati on the banks of the Sabarmati River under Solanki dynasty rule. In the 14th-15th century under Sultanate rule, it was renamed Ahmedabad and established as the capital of Gujarat. The city grew as an important trade, textile and cultural center under Mughal rule in the 16th-17th century. After a period of decline in the 18th century under Maratha rule, the city saw rapid growth under British rule in the 19th century as an important trade center connected by new railways.

Going underground in Santiago: new public buildings built undergroundArchitects for Peace
Going Underground in Santiago
The city of Santiago has undergone incessant transformation in the last twenty years. However, perhaps the most noticeable and unexpected change has been its surrounding geography. The magnificent mountains, the Andes that until only fifteen years ago were perpetually covered in snow and ice cap glaciers, lay bare in today’s summers as a reminder of our recklessness.
While many of the urban transformations follow on a relatively stable trajectory of modernisation and improvement of the social conditions, this course was interrupted during the period of the Pinochet’s dictatorship. The dictatorship’s rejection of urban planning, in favour of the ideology of the ‘free market’ and left a damaging legacy of urban sprawl and inequity. This has presented a challenge to the governments of the last twenty years. In redressing the urban ills, these governments have placed society, culture and sustainable ‘quality of life’ above all other concerns.

VENTILATION AND INSOLATION
WORKING HYPOTHESES:
- LESS NATURAL VENTILATION AND LESS INSOLATION = MORE ENERGY SPENDING
- LESS NATURAL VENTILATION AND LESS INSOLATION = DECREASING HEALTH INDEXES
OBTECTIVE:
- TO GET MAXIMUM INSOLATION AND NATURAL VENTILATION IN ORDER
TO DECREASE ENERGY SPENDING, INCREASE HEALTH, AND INCREASE
PERSONAL COMFORT AND URBAN SUSTAINABILITY
9. 8
ASSUMPTION : CLIMATE CONDITIONS
VARIABLES:
- GRID REGULARITY
- BUILDING MORPHOLOGY ADAPTED TO CLIMATE
- WIDE STREET
- GRID ORIENTATION
- PARKS AND URBAN OPEN SPACES

CASE STUDY/THE BARCELONA CERDÀ MODEL OF URBAN
PLANNING FOR HEALTH
CLIMATE:
- SUBTROPICAL-MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE, MILD WINTERS, WARM SUMMERS;
- LOCATED IN THE EASTERN COAST, WEST WINDS ARRIVE WITH LOW HUMIDITY,
PRODUCING NO RAIN;
- DAYLIGHT AVERAGE IN WINTER, DECEMBER TO FEBRUARY IS 10 H (LONDON,
MOSCOW, WARSAW, 8 H, APPOX);
- SEA BREEZES FROM MAY/JUNE TO SEPTEMBER;
- WINDS FROM THE WEST AND NORTHWEST IN WINTER;
- EAST AND NORTHEAST WINDS CAN EXCEED 100 KM/H (62.14 mph);
- WINTER IS AFFECTED BY TRAMONTANA (NORTHERN WIND) AND MISTRAL
(NORHTWESTERLY, COLD)
- SEA TEMPERATURE: COLDEST MONTH, JANUARY, 13ºC (55ºF); WARMEST MONTH,
AUGUST, 25ºC (77ºF)
12. 11
OBTECTIVES:
- TO GET MAXIMUM INSOLATION IN WINTERS, AND MINIMUM INSOLATION
IN SUMMERS;
- TO GET MAXIMUM OF SEA BREEZES IN SUMMER AND TO STOP THE NORTH AND
NORTHWESTERN WINDS IN WINTER;

TO BARCELONA CITY PLANNING:
- WHY? IN 1855, TO IMPROVE POPULATION HEALTH; BASED ON THE EXPERIMENTS
OF JAMES WYLIE (1) IN SAINT PETERSBOURG; AND ADOLPHE LANCE (2) IN PARIS
(QUAIS OF HORLOGE AND ORFEBRES)
- IN 1855 CITIES INSIDE WALLS, I.E., BARCELONA. VERY HIGH POPULATION DENSITY:
85,600 POPULATION /SQUARE KM; VERY HIGH HOUSING DENSITY

BECAUSE OF DRAMATIC AGGLOMERATION
15. 14
Density, malnutrition, agglomeration, overworking, infected water, illiteracy Causes
Mortality, ignorance, illness, unhappiness, uncultured, unsociability Consequences
Cities experienced a high incoming population during the industrial revolution
Population density increased in all of them
Shocks to the system:
Mortality increased and life span decreased
Determinants of the cities in the nineteenth to beginning twentieth centuries
BECAUSE CITIES HAD INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SHOCKS

GRID REGULARITY:
THE BARCELONA CERDÀ MODEL OF URBAN PLANNING
FOR HEALTH / VARIABLES
- WHY? (Cerdà, 1855 (1991))
- TO AVOID PRIVILEDGE ZONING (Aibar and Bijker, 1997);
- TO FACILITATE MOVEMENTS (GOODS AND PEOPLE):
- REGULAR GEOMETRICAL GRID,
- PERPENDICULAR INTERSECTIONS,
- 2 BIG AVENUES,
- 3 DIAGONAL AVENUES
- TO FAVOR WIND FLOWS;
- TO EASE COMMUNICATION SEA PORT AND CITY GATES;
- TO HELP DRAINAGE OF SEWERAGE.

Geometric construction of the Cerdà’s blocks. Buildings and interior gardens
Source: Cerdà, 1855 (1991), pp. 416-417.
- 2 PARALLEL BUILDINGS ON EACH BLOCK, UP TO 20 M DEEP;
- GARDENS IN BETWEEN EVERY BLOCK, LACED WITH PEDESTRIAN
PATHS, OPENING THE INNER TO THE STREETS;
- BLOCK CORNERS WERE CUT 45º ANGLES TO CREATE SMALL SQUARES.
22. 21
STREETS:
THE BARCELONA CERDÀ MODEL OF URBAN PLANNING
FOR HEALTH / VARIABLES
- 20-30 M WIDE;
- AVENUES 50 TO 80 M WIDE;
- STREETS AS “AERIAL CHANNELS”
- WHICH HAVE THE FUNCTION FOR THE CITY AS LUNGS FOR
- THE HUMANS
“Por lo que toca a salubridad, siguiendo en esta parte a los highienistas,
podemos considerar las calles como canales aereos (…) que vienen a
ser para las ciudades como lo que para el cuerpo humano son los pulmones.”
Cerdà, 185, p. 376 (1991).
STREETS IN THE OLD CITY OF BARCELONA WERE:
- 200 STREETS LESS THAN 3 M WIDE, AND
- 400 LESS THAN 6 M WIDE

- HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS:
- TO GET THE MOST HEALTHY WINDS
- DRAINAGE OF SEWERAGE
- ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS:
- FACILITATE FLOW OF GOODS
- SEA PORT
- WIDE STREETS
- BUILDING CONSIDERATIONS:
- DIMINISH COST OF BUIDING
- CONSIDERING THE SLOPES

- PATTERN OF BLOCKS POSITIONED EXACTLY 45 DEGREES
RESPECT TO NORTH
- THE CORNERS OF EACH BLOCK WERE CHAMFERED IN THE
CORNERS (CUT AT 45º ANGLES, AND 20 M LENGTH) TO CREATE
SMALL SQUARES BETWEEN THE OCTHOGONAL BLOCKS
- ALL THE CHAMFERED CORNERS (“xamflans” in Catalan) FACE
SOUTH, SOUTH-EAST AND SOUTH-WEST (WHERE NOON SUN
LIGHT HITS); OR NORTH-EAST AND NORTH-WEST, WHERE THEY
HAVE ALSO HOURS OF SUNLIGHT
- IN COMPARISON WITH AMERICAN CITIES, CERDÀ’S PROPOSAL OF
THE GRID ORIENTATION, NONE OF THE SIDE-BLOCKS, EVEN
NONE OF THE BLOCK CUT-CORNERS FACED ONLY BY NORTH
