„Confinamiento“in Barcelona

(confinamiento = banishment)

Lockdown herein Spain: since 16th of March2020

Barcelona has never been this quiet ever. It is spooky in some points, but a pure relief to the dense intensity of the city, normally full of cars, contaminationand tourists.

It is a welcome and urgent breath for naturehere. Wildlife is coming down from the hills of Tibidabo, wild pigsareconquering the streets at midnight. Andeven dolphins have been seen onthe coast. Weeds are crawlingup the concret and trees are in full bloom, ready for spring.It all has his own beauty.

Sometimes we think: can we ever live with all thisnoise, traffic and air pollutionagain? I think it is a big chance for city planners to finally overthink public transport, greenand pedestrian parts and little ecosystemsand gardens within the citys -now

!IF NOT NOW THEN WHEN?
