The port has provided many economic opportunities to the city and has been a stepping stone to its growth. In Barcelona: The Great Enchantress Robert Hughes points out that “Barcelona was shaped and its density determined, by the fact that it began as a port and has been one ever since” (2004: 31). Being a port city, Barcelona had the chance to grow, it had the opportunity to become the center of economic activity for the region. In Thomas Hall’s book, Planning Europe’s Capital Cities, Hall discusses how important the port was in making Barcelona the center of trade and industry: “Barcelona’s importance of a port and trading city was growing, and by the middle of the century the town had become a major industrial and trading centre” (Hall 1997: 128). Even today the port has played a big role in economic activity, and the port or docklands was redeveloped for the 1992 Olympics. Antonio Sánchez brings this topic up in his article “Barcelona’s Magic Mirror,” “these zones are often in desperate need of economic and social revitalization if they are to become a dynamic part of the city” (Sánchez 2016: 300). Over time the port has played a huge role in the development of Barcelona, as well as in the day to day activity of the city. Without the port, it is possible that Barcelona would have never developed into the city that it is today. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
