The paper deals with issues related to the implementation of the town planning health in the cities and of the urban planning to order the accelerated growth of the cities. It relates the action of the sanitary engineer, Francisco Saturnino de Brito and the town planner engineer Francisco Prestes Maia and their influence in the transformation of the urban space of Campinas. The city, located in the inland area of the state of São Paulo, had his origin from the establishment of troops that followed in the direction of the goldmines. It became a town in the cycle of the sugar cane and since then was in intense process of development, with the consolidation of the coffee complex, when its population was devastated by three big consecutive outbreaks of the epidemic of yellow fever. The paper compares some innovative proposals of Saturnino de Brito, in the condition Chief Sanitary District Commission of the State of São Paulo; and of Prestes Maia, the Urban Improvement Plan. It concludes that the urban planning is fundamental to control the natural growth of the cities, avoiding the major problems.
