Abstract

This article sets out to investigate urban design during a period of transition between two very different ways of understanding the city: the typical, pre-1970s rational urban planning and the neo-rational urban planning common in subsequent years. In order to understand this process, the most significant set of local plans in Huesca from this period have been selected, so as to limit the period under study to a single city. Therefore, the article is divided into five sections. The first and last consist of the introduction and conclusions, respectively. The three middle sections cover the period of transition, first describing the earlier rationalist solutions (with Lots 16, 17 and 13), then the process of transition (Lot 28), and, finally, the subsequent neo-rationalist solutions (through Lots 25 and 29).
