| Summary: | The formation of the urban agglomeration of the Ría de Bilbao is linked directly with industrial impulse. Industry and associated activities such as the port and commerce were ubiquitous during the second half of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century in the city and its surroundings. Without losing that industrial character, from the end of the Great War in Bilbao a new situation matured, which dominated the period until the beginning of the Civil War.
The research tries to understand this new reality, that modern city, with new activities, functions, growing infrastructural problems, with a very complex social and political situation, which corresponds with the triumph of the mass society. At the same time, all this had its shape in a renewed urban culture, including the image that the city had and projected of itself.
For this we look at a varied range of concepts, and especially in the changes around the district of the Ensanche, the bourgeois extension destined to become the residential, service and commercial center of the Villa. |
