The Portuguese discovered the uninhabited Azores archipelago in 1427 and started to settle it during the fifteenth century. Angra, located on Terceira Island, soon became the most important Azorean city, leading to rapid urban development. This article investigates the overlooked role of streams in the rise of Angra as a pivotal Atlantic urban centre. Through the intersection of historical and flood modelling methods, it makes a unique contribution to our understanding of Angra's urban morphologic development, highlighting the potential of applying urban flood modelling to analysis of the rise of coastal urban settlement.

安格拉新城（亚速尔群岛特塞拉）：使用逆向历史分析和洪水建模工具确认有争议的城市规划历史

葡萄牙人在 1427 年发现了无人居住的亚速尔群岛，并在 15 世纪开始定居。位于特塞拉岛的安格拉很快成为亚速尔群岛最重要的城市，带动了城市的快速发展。本文研究了溪流在安格拉作为一个关键的大西洋城市中心的崛起中被忽视的作用。通过历史和洪水建模方法的交叉，它对我们了解安格拉的城市形态发展做出了独特的贡献，突出了将城市洪水建模应用于分析沿海城市聚落兴起的潜力。
