Abstract

In the wake of Cerda's «Ensanche» project, many catalan cities attempted their own and to much the same ends. Though Cerda' s project surely had its influence upon these, most owed more to the specific problems they were designed to remedy. The Barcelona Laboratory for Urbanistic Studies' work of some years back on the New Town planning projects for Mataro (1878), Tarrasa (1878), Sabadell (1856 and 1886), Badalona (1895) and Vilanova i la Geltru (1876) forms the groundwork of this paper where the object in Mataro of preserving its standing lay-out ' s connotations, the contrasting new ordering of things sought in Tarrasa, the opposed radical and pragmatic postures found in Sabadell, the morphological zoning attempted in Badalona or the «starting-anew pretensions of Vilanova all lead the authors to underline the conceptual wealth of the phenomenon which is here explained as being more the result of a need for self-affirmation on the part of these cities than any mere keeping up with their greater neighbour.
