4. Nestor Goulart Reis Filho, Evolução Urbana do Brasil (1500–1720) (São Paulo, 1968) is the most important work demonstrating the political uses of urban planning in the colonial period. Roberta Delson, “Town Planning in Colonial Brazil” (Ph.D. dissertation, Colombia University, 1975) has demonstrated how the same principal of town planning as a means of instituting royal control (or the imposition of order by a local ruling class) continued and expanded in the eighteenth century with the establishment of new towns in the mining region of interior Brazil.
