From the Colony of Villa Rica to the city of Ouro Preto: a historical analysis of urban Evolution. The study of urban morphology aims to understand the current conformation and evolution of the city through a process that combines the analysis of the physical-constructive dimension with cultural and temporal analysis. This type of study has been faced with different approaches which, during the twentieth century, gave rise to two different but not opposite schools of thought, which, for some specific points, integrate and complement each other in the interdisciplinary aspects, which derive from the academic training of their founders. This work aims to analyze the urban form of the city of Ouro Preto, in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, from its foundation until today using the method proposed by the English school, but, at the same time, highlight complementary aspects with the method of the Italian school. The analysis will focus on the main evolutionary moments of the city by reconnecting the evolution of the urban form to the historical events that marked the history of Brazil since the colonial era.
