PANLAGUA PEREZ, Jesús. Urban Locations for the Development of Crafts in Hispanic America: The Case of the Audiencia de Quito. Hist. Soc. [online]. 2019, n.36, pp.57-86. Epub 17-Mayo-2019. ISSN 0121-8417. https://doi.org/10.15446/hys.n36.70761.
The purpose of this article is to study the location for the practice of mechanical crafts in four cities of the Audiencia de Quito during the Spanish domination period. For this we have used as models the cities of Quito, Cuenca and Guayaquil, with references to others such as Riobamba. Different archives have been consulted in Ecuador and Spain, as well as an abundant bibliography, especially the one produced in Ecuador. Additionally, maps and plans were developed to obtain a graphical documentation that helped us in the development of our work. The results indicate that, despite all the attempts to relocate the trades in certain spaces, no results were obtained and there was a tendency to deconcentrate them. However, it must be borne in mind that, independently of decisions made by the authorities, the need for water, different materials, and preservation of the environment, or the needs of the customers were often conditions that forced a certain concentration of the craftsmen.
