Description
Summary:Conflicts over urban planning and citizens’ mobilisation: reflections on Barcelona. The aim of this article is two-fold: to analyse how the evolution of urban planning in a context of globalisation has facilitated the emergence of conflicts over urban planning and to identify how the various forms of social mobilisation are interconnected. Specifically, the case of Can Ricart in Barcelona is discussed in order to exemplify how citizens’ committees are able to question the city’s urban development model.
