City growth in Montivideo: attempts at its control

Abstract

The building up and growth of the city has often led to an albeit tardy attempt to match this with official planning permission mechanisms to give a semblance of order to what has already happened. The city's true historical referentials and the proving of the present day body of legislation have led on to the creating of a contrasted reality and it is from this that future means and managing methods needs must find their groundwork. The city of to-day must be understood in terms of its differenciated zones and these must find a true reflexion in the gist of any administrative mechanism designed for it as a whole which must, furthermore, come to terms with changes in the governing of cities. Only thus can the way be opened up towards decentralization at a municipal level and a reordering of things at a national one, all this in a world of clearly assigned competencies and well-co-ordinated interventions.
