Abstract

The paper tells us that the turn of the 18th into the 19th Century saw the beginnings of Spanish Town Planning
and that this birth was not an easy one though the infant later did well. An example of the problems to be
then faced was a population explosion in Madrid that far out-stripped the housing available to it. To meet
the challenge, Government handed over the initiative to the City Magistrates and the Governors of the
Garrison thus adding to their previous responsibilities. This mode of handling city planning has been called
Gobierno-Gestion or Executive Administration as no line is drawn between the two planning functions. The
Magistrates and Military Governor were thus charged with resolving each and every territorial issue that
might have arisen. To reach an understanding of this state of affairs, the examples suggested by the socalled
Novísima Recopilación (Ninth Administrative Omnibus) and the writings of students of the period have
been consulted the better to come at this way of governing urban life and city planning by handing down
the responsibility for it to administrative bodies already in existence.
