Abstract

Catalan architects who were members of the G.A.T.C.P.A.C. associa-tion and the Association of Architects of Catalonia (SAC) were con-cerned about social, demographic and sanitary issues. Specialists were engaged in the development of new strategies in the field of urban planning, the creation of comfortable and safe spaces that solved prob-lems associated with high population density. Catalan architects were engaged in the development of functional projects that could solve a number of fundamental problems, such as the lack of a sufficient num-ber of hospitals, schools, housing, factories, places for leisure, etc. They presented these projects in two magazines Actividad Contempora-nea and Arquitectura i Urbanisme, which are investigated in this article. In them, the architects proposed a new way of life, consonant with the ideas of the Second Republic about equality and social justice.
