8. La New Town De James Craig
8. La New Town de James Craig. 8.1. La expansión hacia la New Town. 8.1.1. Contexto histórico de la expansión hacia la New Town. Para el siglo XVIII, los problemas de sobrepoblación de Edimburgo ya eran insufribles. Caminar por la Royal Mile debía generar una sensación realmente aplastante entre edificios que alcanzaban incluso los catorce pisos de altura. Su sociedad, a pesar de haber alcanzado un elevado nivel de desarrollo y complejidad, vivía confinada en un espacio muy reducido, de manera que todas las clases sociales convivían en los mismos edificios conforme a una estratificación vertical. Esta densificación, a falta de infraestructuras de saneamiento, hacía de Edimburgo un lugar insalubre donde sus ciudadanos vivían bajo la amenaza constante de plagas y enfermedades. Por si fuera poco, el mal estado general de los edificios tenía ya a la población acostumbrada a continuos incendios y colapsos. Tras el desarrollo urbanístico hacia el sur en la primera mitad del siglo XVIII, Edimburgo alcanzó su límite del hacinamiento en el interior de sus murallas. Esta situación de decadencia no se correspondía con el momento económico e intelectual que vivía la ciudad, una de las grandes capitales europeas de la Ilustración, donde destacaron figuras de primer nivel como el economista Adam Smith, el filósofo David Hume, el arquitecto Robert Adam, etc. Esta generación de grandes pensadores marcaría el segundo gran hito urbanístico de Edimburgo tras la fundación de la Abadía de Holyrood, extendiendo sus límites hacia el norte buscando el puerto de Leith. Aunque la urbanización de la New Town en un inicio pudiera ser entendida como una Fig 8.1: Plano de Edimburgo en 1742, por William Edgar.

Edinburgh's New Town and the Enlightenment Richard Rodger
Edinburgh's New Town and the Enlightenment Richard Rodger Edinburgh is internationally renowned in architectural circles for its classical 'New Town'. This area, physically separated from the medieval or Old Town by a stretch of water called the 'Nor Loch', was developed in the century following the royal approval in 1767 of James Craig's 'Plan of the New Streets and Squares intended for the Capital of North Britain.' Using the phrase 'Capital of North Britain' appealed to an emerging Scottish identity within the developing British nation state yet carefully positioned Edinburgh as supportive of the Hanoverians just twenty years after the defeat of Stuart cause at Culloden in 1746. Indeed, the street names – Hanover, Frederick, Princes (referring to the male heirs) and George Street – reflected the deference shown by Craig and the Edinburgh Town Council to the Hanoverian succession and naming streets Rose and Thistle linked English and Scottish national emblems. Many other New Town street names were also English – London, York, Northumberland, Albany and Cumberland, an English name reviled amongst supporters of the Stuart cause. Jamaica and India Streets connected Edinburgh to the British empire. Cleverly, the New Town faced in two directions: deferential towards the British monarchy and as a prompt to an increasingly confident Scottish national identity. The building of the New Town proceeded relatively quickly from east to west along the quadrilateral defined by St. Andrew's Square, Princes Street, Charlotte Square and Queen Street so that by 1820 most of the area presented here was completed or at least underway. Further extensions to east, west and north took another fifty years to complete and formed no part of the original conception of James Craig.

Despite the importance of this plan (Fig.33a) unfortunately little is known of its architect'sbackground. Born c. 1740,James Craig's father was an Edinburgh merchant, his mother a sister of the poet JamesThomson, best remembered as the author of RuleBritannia and The Seasons.No record survives of his early education and though he is supposed to have received his architecturaltraining under Sir Robert Taylor, this would appearto be a confusion with a namesake.

1 Edinburgh-Background Edinburgh Is a Very Old City. People Have Lived
1 Edinburgh-Background Edinburgh is a very old city. People have lived in the area we now know as Edinburgh for thousands of years, but the name ‘Edinburgh’ dates back to the 6th century AD. It wasn’t until around 500 years later, however, that Edinburgh began to really grow into the city we know today. One of the major things to happen around this time, in the 12th century AD, was the building of a small castle on a large piece of rock. This small castle would grow over the years to become Edinburgh Castle, one of the most well recognised castles in the world. The building of Edinburgh Castle by the important people of the time shows us that Edinburgh was thought of as an important city, even 800 years ago. But why was Edinburgh an important city then and why did it become the capital city of Scotland? There were, after all, other large cities in Scotland that could easily have been capital instead. Check your understanding Using the timeline below to help you, answer the following questions: 1. When did the name ‘Edinburgh’ start to be used? 2. When did the castle first begin to be built? 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th Century Century Century Century Century Century Century Century Century 401-500 501- 601-700 701 – 801- 901- 1001- 1101- 1201- AD 600 AD AD 800 AD 900 AD 1000 AD 1100 AD 1200 1300 AD AD Now look at the boxes you have coloured in.
