- Collection
- Barcelona City and Neighbourhoods
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.
