Wishing to expand the Spanish city of Barcelona in a way which contrasts with the old congested and epidemic-prone town, urban planner Ildefons Cerdà designed this 19th century extension: the ‘Eixample’. Eixample’s design uses a grid pattern with long streets, wide avenues, and rounded street corners in order to provide improved living conditions for its inhabitants, which includes increased lighting and ventilation within homes, more green space for public use, and seamless transport capabilities. Today, Eixample is home to approximately 262,000 people (according to most recent figures).
