Abstract
The National Historical Archive preserves an order of the Council of 1741, which in turn has an ordinance inserted from a century before. This document regulates different aspects of the Madrid daily life, such as building houses, ornaments, terrains and the exercise of various commercial trades. The increase in population levels concerns their health, therefore, rules were created, designed to solve this problem. These rules addressed both individuals and professionals about their craft producing hazardous waste. It was decided that some streets of Madrid would be privileged, exempting them from road traffic and parking. Finally, procedures and penalties were established to be imposed on individuals who violated these regulations.Downloads
