La Verneda I La Pau
La Verneda i la Pau is the northernmost neighborhood of the '' Sant Martí'' district of Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain). It borders the neighboring municipality of Sant Adrià de Besòs. Until the 1950s, most of its area was occupied by fields with some '' masies'' (such as ''Can Planas'', ''Ca l'Arnó'', ''Can Riera'' or ''Can Cadena'') spread over it. Like most of Barcelona's suburbs, such as L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Badalona, Santa Coloma de Gramenet or Sant Adrià de Besòs, La Verneda also saw a dramatic population increase during the following years (specially in the 1960s), resulting in a rapid construction of significantly high buildings and a lack of basic services.

Field (agriculture)
In agriculture, a field is an area of land, enclosed or otherwise, used for agricultural purposes such as cultivating crops or as a paddock or other enclosure for livestock. A field may also be an area left to lie fallow or as arable land. Many farms have a field border, usually composed of a strip of shrubs and vegetation, used to provide food and cover necessary for the survival of wildlife. It has been found that these borders may lead to an increased variety of animals and plants in the area, but also in some cases a decreased yield of crops. Paddock In Australian and New Zealand English, any agricultural field may be called a ''paddock'', especially if for keeping sheep or cattle. If stock are grazed there, the space may be called a ''run'', e.g. ''sheep run''; ''cattle run''.
