HERITAGE IN THE ENTREPRENEURIAL CITY: DISPARITIES BETWEEN THE CITY AND
THE URBAN
In recent decades, the growing interest in heritage conservation 2 has been directly linked to the
process of the capitalist reappropriation of cities. There has been a “shift to entrepreneurialism in
urban governance”, 3 whereby local governments, regardless of their political ideologies, promote
urban policies that seek to turn cities into commodities. Behind the planning of the entrepreneurial
city are the banking and financial sectors, together with real-estate companies. 4 As the geographer
Mercè Tatjer has studied, this turn has been “characterized by the entrée of financial entities and real-

INTRODUCTION
This article offers an innovative approach to analyzing the role of industrial heritage in urban
commodification, taking L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (shortened as L'Hospitalet or L'H) as a case study.
The discussion will center on one of L'Hospitalet’s main industrial enterprises in the late nineteenth
and first half of the twentieth centuries, the former Cosme Toda ceramics factory, whose production is
now redeveloped. L’Hospitalet is the second most populous city in Catalonia, second only to
Barcelona. It is located within the Barcelona metropolitan area, which includes both cities together
with 36 other municipalities. It is located southwest of the capital of Catalonia, Barcelona, and both
have historically had a center-periphery relationship. Since the end of the twentieth century,
L'Hospitalet's former industrial zones have been converted into urban areas in order to strengthen the
city’s conversion into an economic centrality. The increase in real estate and growing speculative
pressure have led to conflicts over the conservation of buildings listed as industrial heritage.
Therefore, this study analyzes the conflictive relationship between the institutional criteria of heritage
preservation, the interests of the real-estate market and citizens’ heritage-related demands. Inspired by
the conceptual division proposed by Henri Lefebvre 1 between the city planned by specialists and the
city lived by its inhabitants, we explore the role of heritage as a field of dispute. The conclusions aim
to provide a few analytical keys to rethink the role of heritage within the urban dynamics of the
entrepreneurial city.

estate companies into ownership of the urban space”. 5 Heritage plays a strategic role in this type of
governance. As British archaeologist Kevin Walsh suggested back in 1992, “the heritagization of
space represents one of the mechanisms that can be used to attract capital”. 6 When analyzing the role
of heritage, it is therefore essential to unveil the modus operandi of entrepreneurial management.
Understanding this connection is fundamental on a regional, national and global scale.
On the basis of this debate at the macro level, we will explore the processes that occur at the micro
level, in particular regarding the outsourcing of the Cosme Toda factory in L'Hospitalet. The
urbanization of this former industrial land has led to the construction of a new housing area that
integrates the protection of industrial buildings listed as heritage into its design. In our analysis, we
depart from the conceptual division proposed by Henri Lefebvre 7 between the city and the urban,
which alludes to the conflictive relationship that usually exists between the city planned by experts
and the city lived by its inhabitants. The city refers to the morphological and material dimension, that
is, to a physical-spatial structure that defines the arrangement of buildings, coupled with
administrative regulations that organize the urban space. The urban, however, corresponds to the
social and intangible dimension, shaped by the set of practices, social interactions and urban
imaginaries that constitute the essence of life in the city.
The city is critically analyzed, revealing the financial and political interests behind urban planning. To
this end, the interests of real-estate profitability promoted by the outsourcing of former industrial
areas are investigated, with particular attention to the case of Cosme Toda. The urban dimension will
also be examined through the discourses, demands and imaginaries of neighborhood collectives. The
role played by citizens and their tactics of resistance to a speculative urban plan that threatens the
preservation of heritage buildings will be explored.
The methodology used in this study includes a review of literature and archival documents containing
the memory of urban plans. Moreover, testimonies published in the press have been collected in order
to analyze the alternative discourses that have circulated in the media about what deserves – or does
not deserve – to be preserved as heritage.

THE CITY: DEINDUSTRIALIZATION, INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE AND THE L'H BRAND
Heritage in urban planning dynamics
In the nineteenth century, the then-village of L'Hospitalet (it only became a city in 1925) went through
an industrial boom that led to the appearance of many factories and housing for workers in what until
then had been agricultural land. The neighborhoods that make up the municipality were created at that
time. 8 Our case study, the Cosme Toda factory, was built in the Sant Josep neighborhood. 9 Its first
line of business was on the ceramics industry, which was in demand because of Barcelona’s urban
expansion in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries 10 (Figure 1).
HERITAGES: Past and Present – Built and Social
The industrial apogee lasted until the 1960s, when the first factories began to leave the urban areas of
the municipality for good or in favor of new areas in the outskirts. The economic crisis of the 1980s
led to the closure of several factories. L'Hospitalet was no exception to the process of
deindustrialization was also taking place all over Catalonia and Spain. 11 In reaction, in 1976 the Pla
General Metropolità (PGM) was approved to regulate land redevelopment after the displacement of
industry. 12 This occurred during the urban developmentalism period of the Franco regime (19601975).
Developmentalism was characterized by “the expansion of public and private development
neighborhoods towards the peripheries of the city and the metropolitan area (…) despite the lack of
the necessary conditions and infrastructures” 13 (Figure 2).
The dismantling of L'Hospitalet’s industrial area coincided with the country's transition to democracy
in the late 1970s and early 1980s a period when the protection philosophy radically shifted. 14 As a
result, in 1985 the Special Plan for the Protection of the Architectural Heritage of L'Hospitalet
(abbreviated as PEPPA) was published (with a revised edition in 1988). The preservation of the
industrial heritage would soon take center stage. In the 1990s, a plan was devised for L’Hospitalet to
become an economic centrality in competition with Barcelona. At the end of 1996, the new urban
regeneration strategy took shape in the so-called Plan L'Hospitalet 2010 (hereinafter Pla L'H 2010),
which laid out the guidelines for its urban development over the following three decades. It is in this
context that heritage was taken into account with the aim of reinforcing L'Hospitalet’s conversion into
a marketable brand:
Now the goal is to further the city’s projection abroad as a fundamental part of its new economic
development model. The presentation of the heritage creates identity and a sense of citizen pride. The
L’H model has to be complemented with the presence and story of the city’s memory. 15
This plan soon required more specific legislation that regulated real-estate activity on industrial land.
As a result, the Plan de Reforma de las Áreas Industriales de L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (PRAILH,
Plan for the Reform of the Industrial Areas of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat) was approved in 2002. After
it, three other strategic urban plans were subsequently approved to consolidate first an economic
district in 2002. The first was the Distrito Económico Gran Via 16 (Figure 3). Secondly, a cultural

The construction of these urban plans, from the Pla L'H 2010 of 1996 to the PDU-Biopol-Granvia of
2022, has strategically attempted to regenerate L'Hospitalet’s image to allow it to compete with the
other cities in the Barcelona metropolitan area and attract international financial investment. This
conversion of L'Hospitalet into an image for urban marketing is the context in which decisions about
the preservation of the industrial heritage are taken today. Therefore, it is necessary to highlight the
framework of this entrepreneurial urban management when analyzing the urban transformation of
former industrial areas and buildings, such as Cosme Toda (Figure 4).
The redevelopment of the Cosme Toda factory: From ceramic industry to real-estate
factory
The Cosme Toda factory building is one of the main industrial heritage sites in the Barcelona
metropolitan area. The first building of the old ceramic factory was built in 1884, 19 although it was
later extended. In 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, the factory was collectivized and used to
manufacture war material, and a few months later, in 1938, an explosion caused by a fire affected part
of the buildings. 20 After the postwar period, industrial activity resumed, 21 and its trade name was

changed to Fabricación de Cerámica S.A (Manufacture of Ceramics Ltd.) in 1950. A decade later, at
the height of the construction boom, the company stopped manufacturing ceramics, moved to the
outskirts of the city and became a warehouse for the sale and distribution of bathroom and kitchen
items (Figure 5).

In 1999, a first urban regeneration project was announced for the so-called ‘Cosme Toda block,’ 22 but
it never came to fruition. In 2001, the three buildings of the Cosme Toda factory were listed as
heritage buildings and included in the PEPPA heritage protection list. This meant that the
conservation of these historic buildings would be controlled by means of a regulation to which future
urban plans for the sector had to adhere (Figure 6)
The first plan to urbanize the Cosme Toda block was approved by the Urban Development Agency
(ADU) in 2007. However, the project also failed to materialize due to the 2008 economic crisis. It was

not until June 2016 that the project was publicly presented by Mayor Núria Marín Martínez (a
representative of the Socialist Party of Catalonia and mayor since 2008). The implementation of the
new plan began at the end of 2016. The new urban plan included the remodeling of historic buildings
to convert them into public facilities and the construction of residential buildings. It also stipulated the
creation of a parks and gardens area and a road artery (Figure 7). Since then, this urban requalification
of the land has been governed mainly by legal considerations and a forecast of the economic costs that
would be earned from building and selling the new housing. Therefore, it “ensures a sufficient margin
to cover the technical and financial management of the operation”. 23

The urban planning regulations stipulate the total number of dwellings to be built (885) and the height
of the eight buildings in the housing plan. 24 According to Article 264 of the General Metropolitan
Plan, the new buildings must have at least one hour of direct sunlight per day. However, the map of
shadows that appears in the plan report approved by the City Council wrongly calculated the shadows
because of either error or omission. This has led to an increase in the number of dwellings built,
exceeding the number allowed by the regulations by 34.5%. 25 This irregularity reveals that the realestate market’s interest in economic profitability is behind this urban operation, giving continuity to
“the irresponsible urban development and overcrowding in L’H” 26 (Figure 8)

THE URBAN: CITIZENSHIP’S DEMANDS AND IMAGINARIES
In this section, we explore the reactions to the new housing plan coming from the urban, i.e., from the
lived space. 27 We focus on the neighborhood associations of L'Hospitalet, very active during the
transition to democracy, 28 but at that time with no claims related to heritage. The concern for heritage
issues only appeared around 2003, 29 leading several neighborhood associations to defend the heritage
buildings threatened by real-estate projects. One of them is the Stop Masificación L'Hospitalet Cosme
Toda platform, founded in 2019 when residents of the Sant Josep neighborhood became aware of the
construction irregularities of the new housing plan due to non-compliance with the so-called shadows
law. In addition to reporting this to the Urban Development Agency (ADU), the platform warned
about the appearance of a sinkhole during the excavation. This event confirmed the warnings of
several neighborhood groups about the “possibility of locating historical remains in this part of the
city” 30 (Figure 9). These archaeological remains found after excavating the land were not catalogued
as heritage within the PEPPA heritage protection list. To meet the citizen demand to preserve the
historical heritage, the City Council contracted an archaeological survey, which was carried out in
parallel to the urbanization project. 31 In December 2020, the City Council plenary declared the
industrial remains of Cosme Toda Cultural Assets of Local Interest, 32 and they were incorporated into
the PEPPA heritage protection list. There is some resistance to this by members of the neighborhood,
given that they consider the documentation and protection of the archaeological remains insufficient.
In this sense, the response of Stop Massificació L'H Cosme Toda shows how heritage is produced in a
disputed field. The preservation of this industrial heritage is disputed between the voices authorized
from the institutional sphere and the imaginaries and demands of the citizens:
The archaeologists continue their cataloguing efforts, but soon the industrial heritage of more than a
century of history is going to be destroyed. Culture and history have a price in our city: the price set
by the real-estate market. If you go by the #Cosmetoda zone you’ll see that they have begun to install
children’s playground equipment on a concrete foundation. We residents are asking ourselves, will
these swings make up for all the services that the neighborhood has been requesting for decades? Can
the neighborhood absorb the almost 4,000 new inhabitants who will live in the 24 buildings (885
apartments) to be built? How does it make sense to increase the population in the most densely
populated city in Europe? 33
HERITAGES: Past and Present – Built and Social
The new plan approved by the City Council contrasts with what the public is voicing. This is
illustrated by an alternative plan drawn by an anonymous neighbor. The disparity between the city
planned by specialists and the city imagined by its inhabitants is stated in the text accompanying the
image published on social media (Figure 10):
Dreaming is free, and probably not very realistic… But dreams can sometimes be the start of many
realities… What image would you rather for the #Cosmetoda area: the first one designed by a resident
of #lhospitaletdellobregat or the second one designed by the urban planners in the City Council?

CONCLUSION: HERITAGE AS A FIELD OF DISPUTE
The analysis of the redevelopment process of the Cosme Toda factory has unveiled the existing
disputes surrounding the preservation of industrial heritage. For this purpose, Lefebvre’s distinction
between the city and the urban, i.e., between the planned city and the city lived by its inhabitants, has
been used as the basis for our analysis. The result of the study provides evidence about the

The alternative plan proposed by the neighborhood indicates their demands, which always revolve
around preserving the heritage. They point to a lack of green areas and urban facilities and to an
increase in housing overcrowding. They also condemn the irregularities detected in the urban plan and
its gentrifying effects and, finally, the need for participatory processes. 35 Although the City Council
made the project public to the neighborhood associations on June 13, 2016, participatory proposals to
decide on the new functionality of the heritage buildings (community facilities) have not yet been
initiated. This is one of the points that appears in the petition backed by 5,300 signatures in the
campaign led by the neighborhood platform, Let’s Rescue Cosme Toda from Speculation before it is
too late (Salvemos Cosme Toda de la especulación antes de que sea demasiado tarde). The petition to
halt the urban development project was delivered to the City Council on November 4, 2021. In it, the
platform asks that that “a participatory process with citizens be launched to agree consensually to the
urbanistic development for the former factory area and the uses it will have in order to improve
residents’ lives.” The case of Cosme Toda reproduces another of the paradoxes of heritage processes:
“even when the heritage is presented as something that belongs to everyone and therefore is (or
should be) a sphere of citizen concern, not everyone has the chance to participate in the discussion
and definition of heritage policies”. 36
The real-estate pressures of the Cosme Toda redevelopment plan have endangered the conservation of
the heritage. They have also led to gentrification, which may well lead to the displacement of the
current inhabitants of Sant Josep neighborhood.
HERITAGES: Past and Present – Built and Social
management of industrial heritage as a field of dispute among institutional technical criteria, the
profitability interests of the real estate sector and citizens’ needs and imaginaries.
The city's entrepreneurial management practice is reflected in the urban plan devised for the Cosme
Toda block. The interest of real-estate profitability governing its urbanization criteria is evident. The
irregularities of the plan with respect to the shadows regulation has allowed for more housing than
what was apportioned by the urban planning regulations. This municipal permissiveness in the face of
speculative practices gives continuity to the overcrowded urbanism that has historically characterized
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat. This illegality has been condemned by the Stop Cosme Toda platform,
alluding to the defense of heritage. The way in which this process has been implemented has brought
to light the limitations of citizen participation and the demands for a fairer and more participatory
urban model.
