Title: | The new town of Angra (Terceira, the Azores): confirming a contested urban planning history using reverse historical analysis and flood modelling tools | Authors: | Leite, Antonieta Reis Leitão, João |
Issue Date: | 2020 | Publisher: | Cambridge University Press | Project: | UID/SOC/50012/2019 | Serial title, monograph or event: | Urban History | Volume: | 48 | Issue: | 1 | Place of publication or event: | Cambridge | Abstract: | The Portuguese discovered the uninhabited Azores archipelago in 1427 and started to settle it during the fifteenth century. Angra, located on Terceira Island, soon became the most important Azorean city, leading to rapid urban development. This article investigates the overlooked role of streams in the rise of Angra as a pivotal Atlantic urban centre. Through the intersection of historical and flood modelling methods, it makes a unique contribution to our understanding of Angra's urban morphologic development, highlighting the potential of applying urban flood modelling to analysis of the rise of coastal urban settlement. | Description: | This is the accepted version of the article: Leite, A., & Leitão, J.
