Abstract


Spanish Bourbon reformism followed a colonization policy which was implicitly inspired in agrarian ideals, which in turn were to a certain extent linked to a Utopian idea of a modelic rural society. Plans to populate were also a reflection of the struggle for control of territories where American frontiers rivalled with the imperial frontier. The new towns founded in Cartagena de Indias, 1774-1794, by Antonio de la Torre totalled forty-four towns, seven thousand sixhundred and twenty householders, and forty-one thousand five hundred and eleven inhabitant.
