Els tres Pallars
In 1916, Cebrià Montoliu organized the Exhibition of Civic Construction and Popular Housing at the Museu Social de Barcelona with the aim of explaining the evolution of the city from organic urbanism. One of the projects he included was a garden city on a Provençals block in Poblenou, a project that was never realized. With the collaboration of the Arxiu Històric del Poblenou, the project traces the material and social history of this block and its surroundings to explain the process of gentrification of Barcelona.
