Indianes, 1736-1847

Els orígens de la Barcelona industrial

Author/s
Alex Sánchez Suárez and Jaume Artigues
Co-edition with
La Central

Barcelona’s origins as an industrial city lie in the emergence of a new activity: the manufacturing of indianes, or printed calico textiles, which made the city one of the hotspots of European industrialisation in the 18th century. Àlex Sánchez presents a dynamic, ambitious city that was fully integrated into the international trade system. A city that was able to turn this business into the seed of a real industrial revolution, which transformed the urban space and drove economic growth.
