"We had to find accommodations for 5.5 billion people" is irrelevant to a discussion of one city in Spain that did not grow quickly: Spain has its own architects that haven't been influenced much by architects in countries like Nigeria and India where the population grew very fast.
- pas 3y agoPopulation of Barcelona grew from 500K to more than 1.7M in 70 years.
- hollerith 3y agoOK (that is much faster growth than Spain as a whole) but the 5.5 billion new people is still irrelevant.
- superturkey650 3y agoIt’s not irrelevant as a ratio. 2.5 billion to 8 billion is very comparable to 500k to 1.7 million. The population tripled in 70 years and, in the current times, you also have to deal with all the existing architecture and infrastructure in the city that wasn’t built for anywhere near that population level.
