SIGEVA
This entry synthetically analyzes the urban history of the city of La Plata, a city planned to be the modern capital of the province of Buenos Aires at the end of the 19th century. The entry shows that the history of the city, its current situation and its future constantly refer to the comparison between the ?ideal city? planned in its origins and the consolidation of the ?real city? over more than a century of history.
