Regenerating Bilbao: From "productive industries" to "productive services"

This paper aims at analysing the maintenance, preservation, and (re)interpretation of the urban heritage of the industrial city of Bilbao (Spain). Particular attention will be paid to the effects of globalisation at the end of the xx century in Bilbao’s, the relationship between proposals and completed actions put forward by Bilbao’s strategic plan (Partial Territorial Plan), and their urban and socio-economic impacts on the city starting from the beginning of the 1990s. This work focuses on three of the most emblematic actions which have been carried out thus far in the Ria river territory to consider end discuss the treatment of the historical memory of the industrial legacy: the Abandoibarra’s abandoned shipyards, the Ametzola railway station, and eventually the Galindo River estuary.

Questo contributo analizza la gestione e la (re) interpretazione del patrimonio urbano della città di Bilbao (Spagna) e gli effetti della globalizzazione alla fine del xx secolo nel suo ambito urbano. Sarà prestata particolare attenzione al rapporto tra le proposte e le azioni completate del piano strategico di Bilbao (Piano territoriale parziale) e i suoi impatti socio-economici e urbani sulla città a partire dall’inizio degli anni ’90. Il saggio si concentra su tre delle azioni più emblematiche portate a termine ad oggi nel territorio fluviale per dimostrare come è stato impostato il trattamento della memoria storica dell’eredità industriale: le trasformazioni dei cantieri navali abbandonati di Abandoibarra, della stazione ferroviaria di Ametzola e infine dell’estuario del fiume Galindo.
