Abstract

The historical urban landscape is testimony to the social adaptation in space and time, it represents the temporal layers of consolidation of the city. This article explains the changes in urban landscape through urban interventions that were carried out in the historical center of the city of Guadalajara as part of a policy of protection to the national industry in force in Mexico between 40´s and 70´s decades. The hypothesis is that policies for economic development trough urban interventions influenced the historical urban landscape, the objective is demonstrate the relationship between economic development and the conservation of urban architectural heritage. As part of the work process, referred to the literature review concerning economic and urban policies, as well as referring to the patrimonial conservation and historical archives of Guadalajara. The economic laws were analyzed and correlated with the urban interventions, interpreted through geographical information systems and historical cartography of Guadalajara in the year 1900, which allowed to estimate their reach in the historical urban landscape.
