Abstract
ABSTRACT The city of Barcelona, one of the major cultural and economic centres in southern Europe, has a long tradition of migration. This article focuses on two of the quantitatively most important migration phases in the history of the city which occurred in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries: the first comprised migrants from other regions of Spain and the second an intense influx of foreign migrants that began in the late 1980s and continues today. The article analyses the impact of these two different migration patterns on the economic, social and urban development of the city. Despite the dynamics of exclusion and discrimination endured by migrant populations, Barcelona has successfully established itself as the model of an “open city”, committed to embracing its cultural diversity and making it a cornerstone of its identity.
