Description
Summary:During the Twentieth Century Bahía Blanca City was a peculiar case in the Argentinian railway restructuring process. Although the city had been an important railway and port centre, the rationalization of the infrastructures -in charge of the Ministry of Transport and initiated in 1948- was concentrated in other argentine cities. For that reason, in the urban history and the urban planning history of Bahía Blanca, the feeling of an incomplete development contrasts with great desires unreached. The objective of this article is to compare urban imaginaries and concrete realities around de railway lands, by analysing press and urban plans documents. The task has been done regarding the history of urban planning in Argentina and its disciplinary paradigms.
