| Abstract |
This paper focuses on the layout pattern of Spanish American colonial cities through the comparative analysis of La Paz of Bolivia and Granada of Nicaragua, which share similarities in the layout patt...ern and the main elements of city planning addressed by Royal Charter and Law of the Indies. On the basis of field survey and analysis on prescribed regulations, this paper points out the findings of the most representative ordinances. Both cities share similar features as the location of the most important religious and political buildings and infrastructures; Royal Street as a main road of colonial city and patio house as the most representative example of colonial housing. Even though, both cities are based on the same design regulation, they show different forms of blocks layout where no one of them exactly followed the established dimensions. This paper also points out the difference and the present condition of the Historic Urban Centre.show more
