Abstract

Enlightened thought as an intellectual movement which is developed in Europe in the Age
of Enlightenment was the basis of modern critical thought with a global vision due to its application
in many disciplinary areas. From a perspective of social and economic development, many artists
and writers investigated in order to be able to establish an ideal and utopic concept of society and
the city. With the Bourbon dynasty and, mainly, Carlos III, dedicated to this intellectual movement,
progressive reforms and innovative experiences took place in all the territories governed by them.
Thus, curious cases of experiments were carried out which were a turning point in the urban and
social areas, and which today we still find inserted in several landscapes awaiting protection and
revitalising. The Colonisation Towns in Andalusia (the most interesting cases of urbanism in Spain
in the XVIII century according to the academic Chueca Goitia), in the Kingdom of Spain or the colony
of San Leucio in the Kingdom of Naples were experiences which were executed by the sovereigns
themselves and with the same principles, they present numerous, interesting coincidences from a
social and urban point of view.
