Description

This map from 1942 shows the network of roads and neighborhood paths built by the Province of Tarragona. It is a representative document of the competences of the Catalan councils and their work in territorial structuring. The map reflects the effort to modernize infrastructure in a post-war context and centralization. It is also an example of how road planning has been key to economic and social development, and how local institutions have contributed to the construction of a connected and cohesive Europe.
