The initial project involved the English translation of the first scientific theory on the construction of cities, the General Theory of Urbanization, written in 1867 by Ildefons Cerdà in Barcelona, and the development of an platform with open data from his research.

The overall number of documented casualties in the Donbass conflict, which started in mid-April 2014, now stands at 30,729, including 9,333 killed and 21,396 injured (UN Security Council meeting, 28th April 2016). Numbers vary widely depending on the source: 2,568 civilians were killed from 6 April 2014 to 15 February 2016 according to UN body OCHA while Donetsk People’s Republic reports 3,938 civilian deaths in roughly the same period. The opposing sides interpret information depending on their interests. In addition, data generation is a very slow process that could continue well beyond the conflict itself.

Traditional statistics, giving information on general indicators at a country level, become unable to describe a crisis situation like the ongoing war in the Donbass Region. On the other hand, media around the world act a barometer for the situation. Co-operation and human rights associations also report on the evolution of the conflict, and the Internet community, via social networks or collaborative cartography, can describe the problem at smaller scale. These other data sources, that are normally used to describe phenomena at an urban scale, become essential for accurately illustrating a territory under pressure.

BIG TIME BCN aims to be a tool for pleasure of those who love the city of Barcelona. It seeks also to become a reference platform for professionals and students that provides cadastral and heritage information in a novel and effective way.

The cartography represents a first attempt to include several existing databases and archives, most of them still to be digitized or opened. Big Time Bcn is useful for visualising information but also it melds different data sources into a single representation.

Density
The metropolis as concentration
The metropolitan area of Barcelona Is an inhabited landscape. How are people distributed? Which spaces do workers occupy? In which more or less compact areas am the different urban uses to be found? Population density and the constructed fabric reflect an intense metropolitan life whose form varies from the multipurpose city centres to the residential outskirts and industrial areas. A city must be a positive and necessary concentration.

Time
The metrolis as a sequence
The metropolitan area is an old territory in constant evolution. ‘Since 1976 the ground surface has doubled through operations of renovation and urban extensions while the population has shifted and transformed, and the economic fabric has diversified to encompass Innovation. The coexistence between new and old is one of the challenges of a mutable metropolis with great potential for transformation.

Diversity
The metropolis as a mixture
The mixture of urban uses, constructed forms and economic activities generates a metropolitan territory that is rich and varied. The association or segregation of industry, commerce and residence, and the mixture of heavily built-up areas and sparsely constructed ones, result in similar or divergent urban patterns Diversity is intrinsic to the metropolitan city and should be integrated as an opportunity for the future.

It is about getting to know which are these initiatives and which are the synergies generated among them, but also to define the urban fabrics of the metropolitan area considering their potential to foster this kind of activities in order to create innovative fabrics and strengthen the exisiting ones, apart from influencing via urban planning and public policies, on the urban variables that determine the sprout of innovative economic activities.

The study is related to other current research being carried out in parallel, with the aim to describe the current changes in the innovation geography. These transformations go through a return of knowledge activities to the city.

atNight project aims to raise questions about the configuration of nocturnal identity. What elements and values define our nightscapes? What is the relationship between the city we perceive during day-time and its nocturnal identity? Taking Barcelona as a paradigm, we have represented different aspects of the city organization by night in order to approach the structure of nightscapes. Explore the project cartographies using our map viewer.
