From Trades to Council Services. Valladolid town Council and Contemporaneity

Abstract

The change from a trade tradition to modern council services was difficult and slow in the 19^th and 20^th centuries. Routine turning to neighbourhood and budgetary slenderness were receding from the end of the 19^th century and being gradually overcome by the convenience of offering services, avoiding risks and being alike other towns. However, these nineteenth-century projects would only see the light well into the 20^th century.
