Los pueblos de colonización del plan de riegos del Alto Aragón y su emplazamiento en el territorio

Abstract

The Plan for Irrigation of Alto Aragon was designed in the first decade of the twentieth century. The development of this project was taken up by the Franco regime in the forties through the National Colonization Institute (INC), which faced therefore a unique opportunity to implement the ideal of society of the regime on a barren territory. The results of this work varied in the different areas in Aragon where the new towns were settled, due to a number of different economic, geographic, political and social conditions.
