| Sumario: | The present work deals with the study of the infrastructures linked to water and the railway, developed in the city of Córdoba and its metropolitan territory in the period 1880-1914. For this article, a review of two antecedents that were key in the process of formation of this territory is proposed. The completion of the irrigation project “Los Altos de Córdoba” (1881-1891) and the development of the “Tren de las Sierras” railway system, built by the Ferrocarril Córdoba y Noroeste (Córdoba & Western Railway Co. Ltd.) from of 1886. These cases meant a progressive advance in land use planning, defining infrastructures as central devices for its transformation. The condition of implantation of the city and its region, the political ideology of progress and modernization led by the generation of '80 and the search to insert this territory in the national context, had a central participation in the physical development of the territory as demonstrated in continuation. |
