• Resumen

  • This paper examines a group of towns in southwest France founded during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Many of the towns were designed according to a regular, standardized plan. This paper studies these foundations as formal, historical, juridical, and political phenomena. Moreover, it proposes that the spatial dispositions of the towns be read as a product of the social relations enshrined in their charters.
