Abstract

The paper speaks these competencies that a begrudging central administration allowed local government to exercise, albeit on lead strings, during the last century. Of these, the most important as far as city development went, were the laws as to re-laying out towns and that dealing with the original municipal area's spreading out into previously rural land. The paper is rounded out with a description of other, minor acts that also had a bearing on urban growth such as the compulsory purchase law and that dealing with highways. The enactments here examined high point on the one hand the changes that the spanish economy and society then underwent, on the other both the ideology and methods of a middle class bent upon both controlling and enriching themselves upon a process of city change.
