- Title
Colonias militares y civiles del siglo XIX: Una aproximación a las utopías urbanas del norte de Coahuila.
- Authors
Milea, Alejandro González
- Abstract
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 dry 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.
