Montevideo Port City

Urban and territorial relationship between the port and the city of Montevideo

Abstract

This work aims to delve into the urban and territorial relationship of the port with the city of Montevideo. In addition to visualizing the growth and territorial processes of the port, disputed areas are identified where the port wants to advance on the city in its natural growth process and the city intends to maintain or recover for the development of the city and the enjoyment of its citizens. Local plans and detailed projects were investigated as existing tools of territorial planning to achieve these objectives. All this georeferenced regulation is presented accompanied by historical bibliographic research of texts and images, especially historical drawings. Thus, clearly identified sectors Ur emerge so that the city and the port can develop with a more modern look, where the inhabitants of the city connect with their port, so characteristic of it.
