CERDÀ YEAR

Cerdà Year is an initiative of Barcelona City Council, jointly with other public and private institutions and the city's people as a whole, to mark the 150th anniversary of the Plan for the Remodelling and Extension of Barcelona's Eixample, designed by Ildelfons Cerdà in 1859.

From 11 June 2009 to June 2010, a series of activities and events will explore the figure of Cerdà and the urbanistic plan that allowed the city of Barcelona to grow in orderly fashion and efficiently address the problems of a city trapped within its walls.
