Regulador plan (Montevideo)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Regulador Plan was an urban development plan designed in 1930 for the Uruguayan capital Montevideo .

The plan developed by a commission from the city administration referred to both the road network and problematic aspects of housing, urban structure, traffic and the distribution of central functions. Among other things, it included the proposal to create a new city center and to limit residential use to Calle Reconquista within the old town , in order to otherwise establish a redesigned business and banking center between Banco de la República and Bolsa de Comercio . The Manzanas in the area between Calle Buenos Aires and Calle Reconquista should be the goal of a green area-related redesign.

The Regulador plan was ultimately not implemented due to the immense cost involved. However, the commission was given the task of developing a new concept, the Plan Director .
