La Plata fue concebida y diseñada sobre un gran eje central enmarcado por las avenidas 51 y 53, vértebra de la ciudad a través de todo el casco urbano, sobre la que se asientan los principales edificios públicos y plazas: la Catedral, la Municipalidad, la Plaza Moreno, el Teatro Argentino, la Legislatura provincial y la Gobernación, sobre Plaza San Martín. Su diseño urbanístico fue obra de Pedro Benoit y un prestigioso equipo, y es el sello que la ha distinguido en el mundo. Su casco fundamental es un cuadrado perfecto, cortado por diagonales y salpicado por plazas y parques cada seis cuadras, con anchos boulevares arbolados y un inmenso bosque a metros del microcentro.
