Resumen: en este artículo se sugiere que para discutir los valores del patrimonio moderno –en términos de arquitectura y urbanismo–, es necesario revisar lo sucedido con la fundación de ciudades en el siglo xix. Se describen las raíces de la planificación moderna tanto a partir de diversos tipos de proyectos para el establecimiento de poblados, como de ejemplos de “colonias militares y civiles”, con énfasis en el norte de México. Se explica por qué no es posible despreciar dichas realizaciones, sólo por ser de escala pequeña, pues fueron parte de la reflexión, ilustrada y decimonónica sobre el ordenamiento del territorio y la ciudad moderna.Palabras clave: ciudad moderna; colonias; patrimonio moderno; urbanismo.Abstract: this article suggests that the discussion of the values of modern heritage, in terms of architecture and urbanism, requires reviewing what happened with the founding of cities in the 19th century. The roots of modern planning are described by using both various types of projects for the establishment of settlements and examples of “military and civilian colonies”, with emphasis on northern Mexico. The text also explains why it is not possible to reject these realizations because of their small scale, since they were part of the enlightened 19th-century reflection on territorial planning and the modern city.Key words: modern city; colonies; modern heritage; city planning.

The Way

In The Vampire Reymont presents London as the imperial city falling into decline, where Polish immigrants, who lack identity, wander timelessly. It is also a place where a mercantile society is immersed in a reality dominated by technological development. Reymont's novel allows us to analyse the space of London at the end of the 19th century, and the human fate which is determined by this space. In my paper I would like to focus on the analysis of the city space,including the division into centre and suburbs of London, and losing the way in a maze (a maze of streets and a maze of subconsciousness of the main characters), the consequences of abandoning sacrum, entropy, and the crisis of family and art. The interesting vision of London created by Reymont gives us answers to a few important questions. Do the Polish immigrants find themselves in a new reality? How does the experience of a modern city affect people's lives? Why cannot contemporary man find his place in the surrounding world?

The City

The paper considers the general trends in classicism and city planning in Russia and Siberia. The prerequisites for the classicism development are studied on the example of the famous architectural monuments; the main style characteristics are considered. This study concerns the problems of preserving historic buildings in the cities of Russia and the loss of valuable building elements. Classical architecture offers simple clean design widely used in the 19th century and recognized as a background building in all cities of the country. It was most of all subject to destruction during the Soviet period. At present, these objects are rare and identify the architectural era. Although many authors study classicism in the cities of Russia and Siberia, the city of Tomsk has not been studied enough.Comparative and architectural analyses are used to study the classicism development in the capitals of Russia, Siberia and in Tomsk, in particular. It is shown how the main public buildings are designed and built in the cities of Russia and in the city of Tomsk in accordance with the approved projects.It is shown that having passed the main formation stages, classicism becomes the national style by the middle of the 19th century. The need to build public buildings in all provincial cities of the country, new types of buildings such as magistrates, seats, banks, stock exchanges and others, change the architectural style in Russia. The model projects allow in a short time to carry out a large-scale economical and technically correct construction, which contributes to the stylistic integrity of the Russian cities.

Partial Plans

-Trieste was the main commercial port of the Hapsburg Empire on the Mediterranean since 1719. During the 19th century the city underwent a series of projects for upgrading its port facilities and rail projects in order to improve its links with Vienna and with the productive regions inland. Eighteenth-century city planning was an orderly affair leading to an orderly expansion. However, the second half of the nineteenth century brought Trieste into a period of great instability, where projects approved by the government of Vienna clashed with guidelines proposed by the city's elite The projects presented in this period do not follow any general plan. They are neither broad-range nor long-term. The city developed through partial plans. These plans tried to exploit the plains areas between the sea and the high karst plateau that dominated the city. In addition, they went towards reinforcing the interests of the local economic powers.

In this paper, we analyse features of the grammatical descriptions in Manchu grammar books from the Qing Dynasty. Manchu grammar books exemplify how Chinese scholars gave Chinese names to grammatical concepts in Manchu such as case, conjugation, and derivation which exist in agglutinating languages but not in isolating languages. A thorough examination reveals that Chinese scholarly understanding of Manchu grammar at the time had attained a high degree of sophistication. We conclude that the reason they did not apply modern grammatical concepts until the end of the 19th century was not a lack of ability but because the object of their grammatical descriptions was Chinese, a typical isolating language.
