Spanish term

producto-ciudad capitalista

Spanish to English Other Architecture
Hi all,

This is taken from an advertisement for a series of conferences and workshops, the subject of which will be urban construction and town planning. I'm baffled by the term 'producto-ciudad capitalista'.

Desde XXXXX (centro internacional de cultura contemporánea de XXXXX) estamos desarrollando un programa de conferencias, debates y talleres titulado "Construcciones en un contexto urbano".

El objetivo de las jornadas es celebrar la semana internacional de arquitectura y poner sobre la mesa de debate diferentes posiciones entorno a la construcción de la ciudad.

Conscientes de la herencia dejada por los procesos de construcción basados en rendimientos puramente económicos, nos planteamos tres ejes de reflexión principales:

_Herencias:
(el patrimonio y la necesidad de monumentos)

_Políticas otras:
(del ***producto-ciudad capitalista*** a la recuperación de la experiencia)

Kind regards,

Jack

capitalist city product

A city product is essentially the gross national product (GNP) of a city, an estimate of economic output. A city product is an indication of the level of sectoral development and of city development, as well as of social insurance.

How it is compiled, what data are needed
The city product is the total product of a city as defined in national accounts procedures (USD$). This may be interpreted as either total income or value-added (wages plus business surpluses plus taxes plus imports), or total final demand (consumption plus investment plus exports).

The city product should be measured annually per capita.

Hi Jack, yes, that's what I think they are saying here - moving away from the merely profitable and placing greater importance on people's emotional experience of these architectural spaces.

Glad to be of help, Jack :)
Note from asker:
Thanks for this, Lisa. How would this then tie in with 'la recuperación de la experiencia'? Are they calling for a shift from a financial, bottom-line focus to a greater emphasis on offering 'experiences'?
Thanks, Lisa! :)
