These efforts originated from different groups at different times and with varying degrees ofsuccess but they had, as their principal motive, a shared desire to advance the image of the cityagainst a background of significant economic decline frommid-nineteenth century prosperity. Withthis objective in mind, there was a shared perspective that the visual appearance of the city and itsmorphological structure had to be modernised. However, in detail, the specific schemes proposedreflected the diverse ideologies and objectives of their chief protagonists although the generic term‘Málaga Moderna’ came to be applied to a wide range of different proposals. This paper willexamine the development of these key actor groups, the relationships between them and theirvarying impact on the city’s urban form.
