Urban and landscape changes through historical maps: The Real Sitio of Aranjuez (17752005), a case study
To determine the territory or town evolution over time it is indispensable to compare historical maps with contemporary ones. A methodology is defined and applied to the Real Sitio of Aranjuez. We obtain formal and dimensional information to analyse the evolution of the territory urban area and historic buildings. We propose a graphical reconstruction of three urban elements that no longer exist.
