Neighbourhood Plan. An initiative by the Neighbourhood Plan and the MACBA.

A visual and documentary archive representing the social and urban history of the unseen Barcelona. This is the goal of this audio-visual and photographic project from the Neighbourhood Plan and the MACBA.

Thirteen photographers from home and abroad will be commissioned to produce visual accounts portraying the reality of the following:

  • Nou Barris. The evolution of the district and community movements
  • The route taken by water through Vallbona and Trinitat Vella
  • Cultivation areas at La Ponderosa
  • The evolution of public health services in El Raval
  • El Carmel with the starting point for the Juan Marsé novel Últimas tardes con Teresa
  • The city seen from the Túnel de la Rovira
  • The memory of social housing, with the cheap low-build homes in Can Peguera and Bon Pastor
  • The relationship between Poble-sec and Montjuïc
  • The transformation of the neighbourhoods of La Marina
  • Spaces bordering the Besòs river and the Collserola mountain range

The results will be published in a book and an exhibition at the MACBA in the summer of 2024. The project is a continuation of the visual project “Setze barris, mil ciutats”, which documented the work of the Neighbourhood Plan between 2016 and 2020.
