In 1975, Tegucigalpa, Honduras, was transforming under a military regime due to significant rural migration. This influx shifted the city from a compact area into a sprawling metropolis, leading to the need for a structured development plan known as Metroplan. Initiated by the Metropolitan Council and funded by the Interamerican Development Bank, the plan was directed by architect Henry Merriam Weddle, who faced challenges due to a lack of local architectural training. The initiative aimed to manage urban growth and shape the future of Tegucigalpa’s urban landscape.
In 1975, Honduras was under military rule, and Tegucigalpa's transformation into a metropolis was catalyzed by rural migration, prompting the development of a city planning scheme.
The creation of the Metroplan in the 1970s aimed to manage Tegucigalpa's unprecedented urban growth, spurred by rural migration and supported by the Interamerican Development Bank.
