Abstract

The present paper tries to make explicit the structural causal factors behind the urban transformation of the town of Las Palmas throgh out its 500 years of history. In the Orts part, the technico-political circunstances of its foundation are'set out. And then, secondly, a description is made of the characterics of the town in the first centuries of its existence. Its expansion during the end of the 19th. and the beginning of the 20th centuries form the central part of the paper, wich ends with an analysis of the morphologico-functional transformation that has taken place from 1960 to the present day. Enphasis is laid on the way that control of land has been paramount over any other consideration in the process of urban development and transformation. The notion of an informal town is used, given that an urban bourgeoisie that would have cared about its form, never actually existed.
