Abstract

The planning of General Chacel Street in the Reina Victoria quarter of Melilla, gives good evidence of the difficulties involved in the planning of any kind of urban expansion, following the Law of Polemical Areas then in force. The space of three hundred metres which was prescribed as a defence zone as a consequence of this Law, meant that this essential road, obviously belonging to the centre of the town, was the last to be developed. An analysis of the building on the available plots brings out, the complex web of legal precepts, building conditions, experts and leading national promotors involved in the growth of Melilla.
