Abstract
This article reflects on the changing relationships between productive activities, social relations and ethnobiological knowledge in Cornellà de Llobregat. Cornellà is a town located near the city of Barcelona, Spain, which experienced a rapid process of urbanization during the twentieth century. The article explores the transformation of this city from a small agricultural village to a large town that is now a part industrial and part dormitory neighborhood. This analysis is done through the scrutiny of the memories and descriptions of three generations of the same family. The study of the transgenerational cultural landscape of a single family offers a perfect setting to observe the actual cultural impacts of society‐wide structural socio‐economic processes. The analysis of this transformation will link urbanization to concurrent changes in locally available ecological knowledge and highlight the significance of the economy in the production and conservation of useful knowledge.
