Municipal archives and town planning

Abstract

From the XIII Century onwards and despite the ups and downs of municipal government, the city has been the prime mover in town planning and the watch dog on the upkeep of its rulings. This, the paper explains, accounts for the inestimable wealth in terms of plans and interventions that municipal archives represent for all involved in the area of planning as such. These documents have a double value: one historic. the other administrative and are as much a treasure for those that manage as those that build the city, not to mention the public in general and the investigator in particular. They are useful for the studying of the city's planning and architectural history and, from their store of experience, new planning and architectural projects may find for themselves a firm point of departure.
