Barcelona-Chicago-Nova York

Author/s
Isabel Segura i Soriano

The Universal Exposition of 1888 sets the scene for Barcelona-Chicago-New York, where Barcelona is presented to the world as a modern and advanced city, and where it is made clear that its transformations towards progress do not stop here.  Chicago and New York are no exception, but rather, like Barcelona, these cities were also undergoing full urban transformation. The book demonstrates the parallels between these three urbs, which had mirrored one another for over a century, and helps us to understand the historical context that led them to become what they are today.
