The phrase signifies the geographical origin of an individual, specifically birth within the city limits of Barcelona, and the subsequent representation of this event spatially on a map. It describes a specific instance (birth) occurring in a particular location (Barcelona) that can be pinpointed cartographically. For example, census data might indicate the number of individuals whose place of birth, as recorded, corresponds to the specified city and its coordinates on a map.
The concept is fundamental to demographic studies, urban planning, and historical research. Knowing the spatial distribution of births within a city provides insights into population growth patterns, healthcare access, and socio-economic conditions across different neighborhoods. Historically, mapping birthplaces allowed for tracking migration patterns and identifying areas of concentrated population density or specific ethnic groups.
