EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the visionary urban planning work of Ildefonso Cerdà (1816-1876), a Spanish engineer and town planner, whose groundbreaking "Plan de Reforma Interior y Ensanche de la ciudad de Barcelona" (Interior Reform and Expansion Plan of the City of Barcelona) is depicted. Dated 1859, this plan revolutionized the layout of Barcelona, Spain, by introducing a modern, grid-like structure, known as the Eixample district. The meticulously designed plan aimed to improve public health, sanitation, and accessibility within the city. Cerdà's innovative approach to urban planning was inspired by the Enlightenment ideals of order, rationality, and the belief that cities should be designed with the well-being of their inhabitants in mind. The Plan de Reforma Interior y Ensanche de la ciudad de Barcelona was a significant departure from the chaotic, labyrinthine streets of Barcelona's medieval center. Instead, Cerdà introduced a systematic, uniform grid, with wide, tree-lined streets, ample green spaces, and communal housing blocks, all designed to promote social cohesion and create a more livable urban environment. The Barcelona City History Museum proudly preserves this precious piece of Barcelona's history, which is a testament to Cerdà's enduring influence on urban planning and the shaping of modern cities. The intricate details of the map reveal the thoughtful consideration that went into the design, making it an essential document for students of urbanism, architecture, and the history of Barcelona.
