Pilot and regulatory 1947 ----------------------- 1948
"The pilot plan has two moments: one is the establishment of the general ideas of ordering the plan, of how the city is going to have some basic premises of ordering and that later it enters a regulatory plan that is the one that converts those general premises into regulations so that this can be carried out “.
