Abstract

This study evaluates the ideas of the well-known activist and urban thinker Jane Jacobs through their application to the city of Barcelona. To this end, Jacobs' six basic conditions for urban vitality are first synthesized at the district and neighborhood levels. Secondly, urban vitality at the neighborhood level is related to the main patterns of daily mobility of its residents. Although neighborhoods in Barcelona vary considerably in terms of their vitality conditions, a clear relationship has been identified between these vitality levels and residents' daily mobility patterns, particularly with regard to walking mobility and proximity. This work shows how the application of Jacobs' ideas to a Mediterranean city such as Barcelona allows analyzing the effects caused by different types of urban fabrics.
