Tracking the wall in Vicenza

The previous post showed some speculation of the boundary 1599 Vicenza according to the geometry that is seen in the current map. This iteration goes further to predict the sense of urban sprawl that occurred over the years after the 1599 map of a simple circular plan. This map pinpoints all of the areas of existing protective wall of the city and uses it as a marker to predict the history of Vicenza's plan.
