The search for identifying links of the territory guarantees an improvement of current urban landscape planning

Abstract

Since the second half of the 20th century an uncontrolled and generalized growth of historic urban centres takes place, based on anarchic town-planning that causes a break with the natural evolutionary process of these cities. Our proposal aims to make a commitment with the new contemporary urban development models, in search for characteristic links that reestablish the natural growth and transformation of the landscape. Therefore, we have designed the investigation project on the specific case of the Valencian Historic Huerta (fertile, irrigated area), (located at Campanar). We analyze its urban fabric as well as the elements that have determined its growth over the years while we respect its original appearance.
