Abstract

The paper explains that the Madrid Extension Plan was based upon the idea of a web-plan, zoned city and thus one the opposite of Cerda's square-plan grid, homogeneous alternative. The actual circumstances of its being drawn up and the happenings of those times led to this work of two years being drastically reformed by government order in its last ten days. The paper gives us six episodes that, it is felt, explain and throw light upon this strange event.
