what has been produced by man. But often what is called as a natural response to
situations that simply do not notice the action, always modifying, or actions of man is
traditionally accepted (think agriculture).It aims to outline the two lines of argument
underlying this proposal.
First, as mentioned before, the Vega of Granada lost precisely this
original natural
condition
had long ago when farming began to replace it with another
artificial natural
condition
thus collectively executed and gradually accepted.. This is important as a
defense of this sector should not argue that what is intended to preserve the natural
condition of it, in any case intended to preserve the
natural-artificial
image that has
come. And at this point in the argument, can be linked to the introductory phrase, the
value of Vega lies not in its image, but in their important role throughout the history of the
city starting with the very foundation of the same. It is therefore the reason for the city
and for many years the main occupation of its people and responsible for some of its
cluster. In any case this is worth perpetuating.
Second, it is undeniable that the Vega has suffered a major setback in recent times due
to changes in the structure of Grenadian society that has rejected the primary sector as
a source of wealth and growth. If it is not profitable and there is interest becomes
marginal. Let us add that just as undeniable is that cities need to grow steadily in size
and then complete the problem because it spans almost the entire perimeter southwest
is the fertile agricultural. In this situation, economically all defenders of their cultural
value and identity, try to make the growth of the city does not erase the plain that is
inevitably on the verge of it. Although my view that has led to a protectionism that has
hurt the development of Grenada on other cities in similar circumstances.
Pues la palabra descampado es en sí misma fascinante, un
campo que ha perdido sus atributos al acercársele la ciudad
esterilizándolo antes de ocuparlo
(For the word clearing is
fascinating in itself, a field that has lost its attributes as the
city approaches sterilizing before occupying)

4.- Isomorphisms.
The Vega already has been "urbanized" and has the same structure as the rest of the
urban fabric of the city (Fig. 3). Since this is our opinion, is established as the first rule of
Figure 3.- Isomorphisms. Since the first settlers of the city of Grenada to settle with the extensive Vega of
Granada, this entity ceased to be what until then had been to enter a process, like other agricultural
landscapes, domestication by hand of man, therefore it is not surprising to discover underlying forms in the
valley that remember the urban fabric. In this image can be viewed as the formations of city blocks are
played isomorphic in the valley.
