Description

This plan from 1802, the work of Juan Smith, shows the project of a new town in the Marina and Port of Tarragona. It is an essential document to understand the urban transformation of the city in the 19th century, driven by the growth of the port. The Lower Part of Tarragona is configured as a space for economic and social expansion, in tune with European urban modernization processes. The document reflects the importance of territorial planning and port infrastructures in the construction of cities open to the sea and the world.
