Abstract

Cerda is here seen not only as a figure of note for his creating that General Theory of C&T Planning that gave rise to modern Urbanistics but also for the eclipse suffered by his work until quite recently. It could well be said that his 1859 Proyecto para la Reforma y Ensanche de Barcelona is a turning point in the process of the transforming of the urban fact in the 19C., a process that got under way with the Newly Founded Towns of the military engineers to be then kept going by the Developing Grid Lay-Out and then blossom in the Ensanche/New Town phenomena in Spain. Cerda is here said to have used his Barcelona Ensanche project as a test bed for his ideas. His 1855 Draft for an Ensanche, Ensanche Project of 1859 along with the actual beginnings of the work on said ensanche are here felt to be essential to any proper understanding of what was to be understood by this term in the Spain of that period when that term became established, first by Posada Herrera' s 1861 Bill and then by the Ley de Ensanche de Poblaciones of 1864.
