Ronda Litoral
Ronda () is a town in the Spanish province of Málaga. It is located about west of the city of Málaga, within the autonomous community of Andalusia. Its population is about 35,000. Ronda is known for its cliff-side location and a deep chasm that carries the Guadalevín River and divides the town. It is now one of the towns and villages that is included in the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park. History Around the city are remains of prehistoric settlements dating to the Neolithic Age, including the rock paintings of Cueva de la Pileta. Ronda was, however, first settled by the early Celts, who called it Arunda in the sixth century BC. Later Phoenician settlers established themselves nearby to found Acinipo (sometimes referred to as ''Ronda la Vieja'', Old Ronda). The current Ronda is of Roman origins, having been founded as a fortified post in the Second Punic War, by Scipio Africanus. Ronda received the title of city at the time of Julius Caesar. In the fifth century AD, Ron ...

Urban Planning Of Barcelona
The urban planning of Barcelona developed in accordance with the historical and territorial changes of the city, and in line with other defining factors of public space, such as architecture, urban infrastructure and the adaptation and maintenance of natural spaces, parks and gardens. The urban evolution of Barcelona has been constant since its foundation in Roman times to the present day, although since the nineteenth century it has been accentuated thanks to the ''Eixample'' plan and the aggregation of neighboring municipalities. Until the nineteenth century the city was constrained by its medieval walls as it was considered a military square, so its growth was limited. The situation changed with the demolition of the walls and the donation to the city of the fortress of the Citadel, which led to the expansion of the city across the adjacent plain, a fact that was reflected in the Eixample project drawn up by Ildefons Cerdà, which was the largest territorial expansion of Barcel ...

Street Names In Barcelona
The odonyms of Barcelona — meaning the street names in Barcelona along with the names of thoroughfares and other roads in the city — are regulated by the ''Ponència de Nomenclàtor dels Carrers de Barcelona'', a commission under the Department of Culture of the Barcelona City Council. These names have changed over time, reflecting the various historical, social, political, economic, and cultural events that have taken place in the city. Its evolution has also been marked by various factors, such as urban planning and the physical and territorial changes that have occurred in the physiognomy of the city, mainly derived from its geographic expansion along the Barcelona plain, with two main milestones: the ''Plan de Eixample'' developed by Ildefons Cerdà and the addition of neighboring municipalities, between the 19th and 20th centuries. The oldest street names still existing in Barcelona are of medieval origin. However, their regulation did not begin until the 19th century, an ...

Ronda Del Mig
Ronda del Mig is an expressway that runs through the city of Barcelona through the interior of the city, unlike the Ronda del Litoral and the Ronda de Dalt, which runs along the periphery. It was originally called the "Primer Cinturó de Ronda". It was initially planned in the Barcelona link plan of 1907, the work of the urban planner Léon Jaussely, although its execution, with important modifications, has been extended almost all the twentieth century. In the planning of the city council in the decade of 1970, its continuity was anticipated from the Guinardó, where it finishes at the moment, until the sea, happening through the Sagrera and the present Rambla de Prim.

Ring Road
A ring road (also known as circular road, beltline, beltway, circumferential (high)way, loop, bypass or orbital) is a road or a series of connected roads encircling a town, city, or country. The most common purpose of a ring road is to assist in reducing traffic volumes in the urban centre, such as by offering an alternate route around the city for drivers who do not need to stop in the city core. Ring roads can also serve to connect suburbs to each other, allowing efficient travel between them. Nomenclature The name "ring road" is used for the majority of metropolitan circumferential routes in Europe, such as the Bundesautobahn 10, Berliner Ring, the Brussels Ring, the A10 motorway (Netherlands), Amsterdam Ring, the Boulevard Périphérique around Paris and the Leeds Leeds Inner Ring Road, Inner and Leeds Outer Ring Road, Outer ring roads. Australia, Pakistan and India also use the term ring road, as in Melbourne's M80 Ring Road, Melbourne, Western Ring Road, Lahore's Lahore ...
