Abstract

The industrialization in the end of 18th century and the beginning of 19th takes place in the cities. As they are not able to house the immigration wave in the old town premises, a new urban form will be needed. The strategies will focus in new urban layouts, of a great area, with wide modern streets, well leveled, with service infrastructure and mass transportation and great blocks with a very regular division that can host the industries and the new residential typologies. We will find three kinds of urban layouts: avenues, rings-roads and extensions. All of them have in common the use of a very regular geometric grid. Among them, the extensions are the most significant ones and the best exponent of the industrial city. These plans, based on roads layouts, are the most interesting urban projects from the last 200 years and the ones that better represent the set of paradigms of the contemporary urbanism: density, compactness, mix of uses and flexibility, and so far enjoy a great value as social and economic heritage
