The Present Day Relevance of Cerda
Keywords:
Cerdá, Ensanches urbanos, Historia del urbanismo, Teoría urbanísticaAbstract
Cerda is now-a-days remembered most for his Barcelona «Ensanche» or Town Extension but the author insists that this in itself was no more than a putting into effect of that innovator's General Theory as to the Building of Cities and asks if this, over a hundred years on, still has for us now that feel any need for theories when it comes to City and Territorial Planning. Cerda, we are here told, held them sovereign against planners capricious tendencies and essential to any truly effective undertaking. For the author there is still much to be said for bringing together in a single theory the professional, economic, administrative and political aspects of C&T Planning as there is for pondering just why Cerda settled upon the grid plan or why he held lines of communication to be the framework in which to rightly set his basic units of design which were not that built but rather that built within such lines- his «intervias» or blocks within communication.
