Abstract

The author comments the adoption by Spanish cities like Santander of the grid ground plan framework when planning their walls-without growth in the 18C. and that this has lead some to see Cerda as having built upon such experiences when it came to his designing a model for Urban Extension Plan. However, the author holds that any close analysis of these «proto-ensanches» must show the poverty of the thinking behind them and them to be but partial extensions stuck onto the original city proper. Quite on th e contrary, Cerda's proposals, in the light of such an analysis are revealed in all their splendid consequentiality as planning for a new sort of city that is in harmony with its times and enjoying a structuring organisation born of the facts of that city's life.
