Improve the Cerdá Plan - SPAIN
Expropriation to generate new spaces of stay, is not a feasible solution currently in the Cerdá Plan. The citizen lives daily with the pose and deformation that underwent the Cerdá Plan through the years. The political inoperative and constant capitalist profit for the dominion of the earth, have destroyed, after the years, its possible expansion. The lack of a coherent and deep urban plan in connection with the original Plan Cerdá, and in parallel with the growth and evolution of Barcelona, resulted in the lack of urbanism and the sense of suffocation between its great walls of super apples.
An urban approach must be developed according to what society needs and demands, otherwise there are only utopias filled with a political vacuum. To intervene at the present time to re-nationalize the Plan Cerdá would be outlandish, and would force a new forced deformation. The only spaces to be used are the spaces of vehicular horizontal circulation.
To pose an artifact of circulation and transport of people that travels the only possible transit spaces, streets and avenues; Developed at a height above the level of the pedestrian, will grant a new urban route in a different dimension. The Community Transportation Plate will also act as a carbon dioxide collecting vehicle, while the Access Columns will be in charge of filtering that carbon dioxide, becoming air-purifying stops.
The scheme of the connector circuit raises how the union of the old Plan Cerdá takes place through the Comunal Transport.
