The Barbican was built on the site of World War II devastation. German bombers flattened the area and only few buildings survived. Reconstruction focused on repopulating the City hence housing was the main purpose. Built between 1969 and 1976, the residential blocks sit on a 40 acre site with a raised podium and elevated walkways. In addition, cultural facilities were built between 1971 and 1982 with 2 theatres, a concert hall, library, art gallery, and more.
