Well nigh the whole corpus of spanish urban historiographic studies over the last twenty years is covered by the paper that, notwithstanding, highlights the most important contributions to this. It takes as its starting point-as did «Ciudad y Territorio»- the year 1969, a period in which such studies were held in scant esteem and underlines the gradual and as yet incomplete process by which they have become accepted. Authors, models and lines of investigation are all thoroughly gone into as to their historiographical relevance and include such as bear upon the fore-runners of present-day urbanism and the works of the Art History Faculties. Finally, the valuable contribution to this field made by The Institute for Local Government Studies and its magazine, «Ciudad y Territorio» is underscored and a bright and promising future for the entire area forseen with a body of new and important papers. ; La historiografía urbana española en los últimos veinte años queda reflejada casi exhaustivamente en este trabajo, en el que se recogen las obras más significativas. El estudio arranca en 1969, coincidiendo justamente con la aparición de «Ciudad y Territorio», cuando el urbanismo en España era una disciplina apenas cultivada, lo cual supuso el inicio de una etapa que todavia no ha cerrado su ciclo activo. Se realiza un profundo análisis de autores, modelos y direcciones seguidas por la investigación historiográfica, que comprenden, entre otras, las obras dedicadas a los antecedentes del urbanismo contemporáneo en España y las producidas en las Cátedras de Historia del Arte, terminando por destacar la importante labor efectuada por el Instituto de Estudios de Administración Local y por la Revista «Ciudad y Territorio», concluyendo con el presagio de un futuro espléndido y prometodor de nuevas e importantes publicaciones.
