An extensive specialized literature is dedicated to housing estates that were designed and built on the peripheries of European cities between the 1950s and 1970s. Less attention has been given to the urban forms of the ‘ordinary peripheries’ that were formed in parallel to these estates in that exceptional period of urban growth.
This text is presented from a new perspective, trying to contrast a type of operation planned and executed unitarily—housing estate or polígono— against another urban growth form, loosely planned, that results from a gradual development—which is called here ‘ordinary periphery’—. Instead of insisting on the comparison of the urban quality of the housing estates with that of the traditional city, advocated by contemporary criticism, a comparative study is proposed between the urban quality of these and that of peripheries shaped around them through more time-consuming processes. The final objective is to assess the advantages and disadvantages in terms of urban quality presented by two different urban forms, but both peripheral in nature, avoiding the usual comparison of housing estates with the compact model of traditional city that has certain very different characteristics.
This contribution comprises four case studies from Zaragoza—two housing estates built at the end of the 1950s and the urban forms of the two neighbourhoods in which they stand—explores several cartographic representations which can facilitate an operational diagnosis of urban quality of both models.
