The aim of this article is to describe the work of the first Urbanism Professor in Spain, the architect and industrial engineer César Cort (1893-1978), and to give an outline within the context of the town planning culture in which he developed his work. Since 1918, from the Chair of Urbanología at the School of Architecture of Madrid, he contributed to the consolidation of the Anglo-Saxon influence in Spanish Urbanism in the crucial moment of the second half of the 1920s and the beginning in the 1930s. His professional biography tells of the trips he made, opened labor paths, meetings, skills, interests, social networks woven and examines the coherence or inconsistency between what was said and what was actually done. From his works as a professor, disseminator, urban planner, landscape architect, architect, and politician, Urbanism was always his main interest.
