A new issue of the magazine Metròpolis Barcelona has been published with a new look. The magazine has a new design and its content has also been reorganised. Headed by Milagros Pérez Oliva, this quarterly publication will continue to foster calm and collected debate among the public, away from the vertigo of our times.

Issue 130, now available in full online on the website metropolis.barcelona, reflects on the city of five million people, how the metropolis has overwhelmed administrative borders, and calls for a coordinated transformation of public spaces and policies.

In this issue, the urban planner Oriol Nel·lo explains how residential segregation works, the geographer Mireia Belil describes the complex network of cities that make up Europe, and the sociologists Núria Gómez and Sergio Porcel talk about counterurbanisation, the migration from the city to the rural environment. There is also an interview with the journalist Francesc Escribano and a reflection on suburbanisation from the planning expert Margaret Crawford.

The magazine can also be downloaded in pdf format, purchased as a hard copy from the Sala Ciutat, or received directly by email by signing up for its newsletter.
