Description
Résumé:The article sustains that, in North Coahuila, during xix century, the new population centers were influenced by military colonies reglamentos. A revision of its measures and dispositions, also with the case study of El Remolino –and other civil and repatriated colonies–, it is possible to corroborate a familiar idea which states that the Mexican utopias were inspired from a tradition formed of short resumes of collective ideals, but were not creative exercises of imagination or idle fables. The recurrent using of damero –a square trace of streets and blocks– permits to advance in the definition of an ideal city type that its necessary to incorporate to the urbanism and planning history of Nord–eastern Mexico, because it associates a conscience of the population needs with an artistic unity conception.
