- Abstract in English : Agricultural parks represent a specific management form of land cultivation at the largest scale of Urban Agriculture (UA) in the Barcelona Metropolitan Area. To study this form of UA, we have applied spatial and perceptual analyses to diverse types of agricultural parks represented by two case studies differing mainly in their structures, area, origin, aims, uses and management. This approach aims at showing the complexity of agricultural parks which due to historic landscape and urban structures related to the tradition of land cultivation represent a specific type of urban-agricultural landscape preserved as cultural heritage with a significant historical legacy. Key words: agricultural park, public open space, urban agriculture, urban environment
