Reconstituirea planului Iaşilor din veacul al XVIII lea
Reconstitution of the Urban Plan of Iaşi from the 18th Century

Summary/Abstract: This study proposes a reconstitution of the urban plan of Iaşi from the 18th century. In the context of all the historical researches done until today, this reconstitution confirms some hypothesis, but also promote new ones, like about the route of the old roads, or about the site of some squares, markets and old streets. Also, an important basis for this reconstituted plan was the historical evolution of the town. In order to analyze and decipher better the old urban configurations, this work of reconstitution used a very efficient instrument: a permanent correlation and superposition of the old and new plans of Iaşi, from the 18th until the 20 century. The correct transposition on this plan of all the historical information collected was an important part of this work, too. Also, the transposition in chronological order of some historical buildings and archaeological discoveries became an efficient guide and an important verification instrument for this reconstituted plan. Fortunately, due to an inertia phenomenon of the old streets network of Iaşi, some of the zonal urban characteristics were preserved until nowadays and they were precious reference points in the reconstitution of this old urban plan.
