Resumen

Industrial colonies, meaning industrial population nuclei located in rural areas, are one of the most characteristic phenomena of the industrialisation process in Catalonia, both because of the industrial, business and social model they developed and
because they became one of the most singular features of the landscapes in the Ter and Llobregat river basins. Thanks to
these colonies, the counties where they were located ceased being rural and instead became industrialised and urbanised.
