Abstract:
This article is the continuation of the article published in Geographia Technica Issue No. 2/2014 entitled: 'Conceptual and instrumental influences in the graphic representation of urban planning: from ancient times to the baroque' and the article published in Geographia Technica Issue No. 1/2015 entitled: 'Conceptual and instrumental influences in the graphic representation of urban planning: the industrial Revolution and the 19th Century'. It thus ends a trilogy of articles that have sought to analyse the main influences that have shaped important changes in the representation of the town, graphically speaking. Of course, this historical overview has been approached, as the titles of the articles would suggest, by identifying the conceptual and instrumental changes undergone throughout history, and by the repercussions and influence they have finally had on the establishment and application of new graphic criteria applied to planning plans by architects, engineers and town planners.
