Abstract


The recent growth ofinstitutionalized images of the city of Barcelona is analysed as a mechanism that supports the new urban planning, concerned no more with regulation but with promotion of growth. This paper shows sorne examples of how the physical reconstruction ofthe city has been used as a symbol ofrevitalization, how a new brand image ofthe city has been created by means of the new public spaces and, finally, how one of the main goals of the production ofimages has been to reinforce social cohesion in order to increase the identification of the population with the aims of urban revitalisation.
