This article explores the link between colonialism and urban space through a historical-legal lens. Focusing on Asmara, capital of colonial Eritrea, it examines the city’s 1913/14 and 1939 urban plans to reveal mechanisms of exclusion and racial segregation. Zoning emerges as a key tool of colonial control, producing displacement and loss among local communities.
