Description
Summary:[EN] The analysis of an unprecedented plan of Madrid´s expansion reveals several unknowns, raised some time ago, about the location of some drawings of Carlos María de Castro and about its complex processing. In the same manuscript are overlapping traces of several moments: the first drawings of the survey of territory, the original proposal for the expansion, the officially approved plan and the city that finally resulted. These traces are testimony of the similarities and discrepancies between the idea of city proposed by Castro, the one provided by the Administration and the real process on the ground.
