Abstract

Urbanism is a discipline that converges the study of occupied space by a given territory and their management. The physical, geographical and historical characteristic of this territory are known through its topography and cartography, and these disciplines are the graphic base on which the organization is supported. Above them is reflected the current state of the territory under study; it identifies planning guidelines and reformed spelling territory, making it indispensable in the process of transformation and planning. The present article presents and justifies the need to use topography and cartography in the analysis of geographical space to order, as well as the relationship between geography, cartography and planning.
