Abstract

Barcelona, creative city, Artiste area versus numerical cluster. Between land management and production of new creative space : the Poblenou 22@ in Barcelona. Poblenou (or the new village in Catalan) is a district of Barcelona known for over ten years urban regeneration based on the concept of the new economics of ICT (Information and Communications Technology) as a source of new attractive image for the location of international companies with a creative project called 22@ district. A transition produced a territorial gentrification thwarted by artists, intellectuals and local people adopting as the emblem of their action, the rescue of a flagship industrial architecture : Can Ricart, home of many artists. Since, urban planning has been redesigned in its margins and townscape of the area tends to reflect the consensus between politicians, multinational companies and artists survivors of this high-pressure real estate. An assessment of the financial risks is considered by the territorial upheavals and the financial sums committed to rebuilding a neighborhood through the chimerical model of "Silicon Valley". These artists became referents, while trying to fit into the theme of the new creative economy of the territory through alliances, orders and cooperation shy but regular. The new european Soho research yet an identity and a certain lifestyle based on the new balance of power highlighted by the artists in their criticism, actions and communications : cohabitation between old and new residents ; the choice between contemporary architecture and heritage protection ; the artist as creator, assistant or complicit in the so-called creative class.
