Urban Sustainability in Barcelona: Living and Learning the Experience

This paper is a written experience of a person from Malaysia; a developing country who was given the opportunity to live and study in Barcelona; a developed metropolitan by the Mediterranean Sea in Spain. This paper is made up of three sections; 1) current characteristics of the urban planning and management 2) the sustainability and environmental approaches practiced and governed by the city 3) personal thoughts and experience overlooking the general attitude and culture of the people of Barcelona. The observation is made throughout my mobility in Barcelona and as a person living the life in the city. The observation is documented through hard evidence of photographs and local authority database and information accessible to public.
