Parc Central de Nou Barris as an element of the greenery system of the hybrid urban structure of the Barcelona Metropolis

Abstract

Undoubtedly, cities constitute a natural environment for the life of contemporary man. It is estimated that by 2050 as much as 70% of population of our globe will be living in cities and sprawling metropolises. The role of green recreational areas, providing residents with confront and contributing to the improvement of their living conditions, especially in the largest centres, simply cannot be overrated. From amongst European cities, the Barcelona Metropolis belongs to the first ten. An area which is only twice as large as Cracow is inhabited by over 3 million people, and the population of the adjacent towns is another 2 million. Municipal and regional authorities are trying to keep the balance between urbanized and natural areas, and the particular care for the municipal greenery system is particularly useful in this respect. Multistage projects of securing green areas in northern residential quarters of Barcelona, whose element was Parc Central de Nou Barris, inscribe in the latest urban strategies implemented in the metropolis.
