This instant action take place in the framework of the Arquitecturas Colectivas annual meeting, in Barcelona.

Get inspired by the Jane Jacobs walks, we organise an itinerary linked over six places, where performers with strong connection to the local life explained their peculiar relationship with the specific place and helped the participants to understand the history of the Plaça de les Glòries with its two parallel timelines of events. Each place was used to present a specific topic as follows:

. New Encant’s Market. The upstairs neighbours: the imposed city?
. Temporary Encants’s Primary School. Spaces and identities in transition.
. Fabrica dels paraigues, symbol of the working class in Barcelona and Old Encant’s Market. The value of memory.
. Glories’s mall. The law of the market.
. Informal city 9m under formal city. The downstairs neighbours: the creative city.

The walk ended in Bolivia Nau an old factory occupied by a collective of artists and craftsmen, who organised different performances. The numerous inputs have constituted the starting point for the final debate which was open to the public, during which important questions related to the polysemous nature of the place and to its next future occurred.
