MAPPING LAS RAMBLAS

Our map focuses on opportunities for future development of cultural shopping. Cultural hotspots have been identified within the old-city, providing an underlying base for existing cultural activity. Three and six minute walking radii have been calculated from each of these hotsposts, with MACBA receiving an additional nine minute radius as it offers an emerging cultural precinct.

Areas of greater colour intensity offer a better prospect of developing new cultural shopping environments. Metro stations are shaded blue and when overlapping with cultural hotsposts, offer possible magnification of success.
