Pavimento y patrimonio en las ciudades históricas. Reflexiones a propósito de una intervención singular en córdoba (España)

Abstract

One of the least discussed aspects of the cities landscape study is the pavement of the public thoroughfare. The streets and squares make up the arterial network of the city. The pavement, beyond its mechanical function, has an obvious influence in the configuration of the landscape; at the same time that it is a part of the heritage value, capable of renovating the cultural picture of a city, boosting the economy or even being used as a tool to show the main elements of the historical cities. One example of this importance, relating to the city of Cordoba (Spain), is presented in this work.
