Next Saturday, April 2nd,
CICdB
and LaFundició are organizing a route through Plaça Europa and the Economic District of L’Hospitalet in the company of former residents of the La Bomba neighborhood and the journalist
Rafa Burgos
.
The starting point of the route will be the outside of the Europa Fira metro station (L9) and the start time is 11 AM. The activity is completely free.
Rafa Burgos will guide us through the Plaça Europa of L’Hospitalet, a clear example of the urban transformations caused by the real estate bubble in the early 2000s, telling us about the political and business network that shaped the current appearance of this place; at the same time, residents of La Bomba will tell us about the memory of this shantytown that, from the 40s of the last century until the construction of the Economic District itself, occupied this territory.
Rafa Burgos is an Official Guide of Catalonia, as a journalist he has published the books Crema catalana. Cronyism, corruption and other miseries (Icaria Editorial, 2014) or The caste. Who they are and how they act (El viejo topo, 2015).
The residents of La Bomba who will accompany us during the route participate in the History Workshop that we promote every Wednesday from 6 to 8 in the afternoon at the
Centre Cívic el Gornal
as part of the work processes of the Center for Interpretation of the City from the Barraca (CICdB).
