The theory of “demographic metabolism” accounts for social change through a succession of generations in a certain territory. It has recently been prospectively recovered to relate the sociodemographic characteristics of international immigration with generational replacement. In our case, we retrospectively apply this perspective on territory using the Population Register of Catalonia in order to analyse the composition by gender, generation, and origin of people living in the different neighbourhoods of the city of Barcelona and districts in the rest of its metropolitan area (MAB), taking into account the neighbourhood or district and place of origin. In particular, we focus on three generations: 1956-1960, 1976-1980 and 1986-1990, selected for their particular demographic evolution in the MAB in recent decades. This enables us to give a better description of the neighbourhood in terms of composition of the resident population by origin, sex, and age. Moreover, we can reinterpret cohabitation (and segregation) of residents in each area studied as a condition of intercultural contact, taking into account age, sex, and educational level, as well as origin and birthplace, which is usually the case.
