Description

This map published by Alpina in 1951 shows the urban development of the city of Granollers from the 15th century to 1936. It is a cartographic document of great historical value that allows you to visualize how the city has grown and transformed over the centuries, from a medieval center to a modern city. The plan not only reflects the physical expansion, but also the social, economic and political changes that have shaped the urban space. This graphic representation synthesizes centuries of urban history and highlights the importance of planning and territorial memory. It is a clear example of how cartography becomes a tool to understand the identity and evolution of Catalan cities within the European context.
