Abstract

The industrialization in the Bilbao River area caused extensive transformations characterized by their speed and depth. One of its more evident manifestations is in the urban field, giving rise to an extremely complex city, even contradictory. That's a key to the decision of a part of Bilbao's upper class families to be transferred to the suburban surroundings, concretely to the urbanizations designed in the municipality of Getxo. This it is a very original process compared with that of the Spanish cities

In this context, the promotion of Neguri's urbanization (1903-1919) stands out for the original conditions: planned as first home, managed by an limited liability company linked to the company of the railroad, presence of urban development autoregulation, or design related to the garden suburbs. Neguri became a reference and a model for its spectacular development, and its repercussion. Now has been converted in synonymous of the whole zone and even of the social group.
