Why does Barcelona attract the masses in both people wanting to live in the city and visit it? The answer might be with how it's designed.
In this second episode of The Perfect City, we will take a look at a top contender for perfection in urban planning and design – Barcelona, Spain. Barcelona is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world and a prime example of architectural beauty and masterful human-centric urbanism. We will discuss what makes it stand out in comparison to other major cities and what it can teach us about the kind of built environments that people are most drawn to.
