The exhibition "Barcelona, Links" and its catalogue identify seven central hubs in the metropolitan city with problems of continuity that disrupt the eficiency of urban reality. The title includes a reference to the urbanistic discussion of the Barcelona of the early 1900s, which proposed a system to link the towns and villages in the Barcelona Plain (Jaussely's Plan). A contemporary viewpoint and academic papers explore possible alternatives to important issues

and involve the city’s image and functions.
