Comments about mayor villafañe city map (Formosa-Argentina)-2022

Abstract

This article deals with the comments associated with the dimension of the urban morphology of the city of Mayor Villafañe. This research is qualitative-descriptive and combines different local historical events, in other words, historical aspects expressed in the current city map, which shape the reality of the place. This study encompasses the period ranging from 1946 to 2022. The documents dating back to the 70’s contributed to explain the current urban design. Overall, among the results, it highlights the location within Gran Chaco, with its own characteristics, a position practically central in the local space which links 17 colonies with entirely agricultural characteristics; as well as its inherited morphology corresponding to the regular framework, characteristic of Argentinian cities, particularly those in the plain lands.
