| Sumario: | In the first century, the Romans established a fortified camp along the Danube River, as a strategic element for the defense of the limits of the empire. It was the beginning of the vocation of the city of Vienna, which will be an important military center during the Crusades and key bastion to resist the attacks of the Turks in 1529 and 1683. After these dates, the city began to spread outside the walls, leaving a belt of about 600 meters wide, between the old town surrounded by ramparts and the new city. During the 19th century, under the Emperor Francis Joseph, in the old firing range, it builds a wide boulevard, the Ringstrasse. This urban space, where are located the main public buildings of Vienna and a considerable amount of private palaces, is a material manifestation of art that emerges in times of peace. The same is carried out by following a modernization plan inspired by the reforms implemented by Napoleon III in the city of Paris. In this work, a comparison shall be made between the criteria used in the urban reforms and other capital, trying to point out the elements that contribute to give identity to the city of Vienna. |
