The city’s infrastructure has many angles, some more obvious than others. Mobility and communication are as central to today’s debate as the city’s relationship to water (rain, drinking water and sewage), was in the past. A review of public works carried out a century ago reveals some unexpected impacts among the functional initiatives that, probably unintentionally, have nourished and protected some qualities of our urban landscape.
