The urban setting of today's cities, has been the result of different historical processes influencing the organization of the territory, elements such as economic activities and the implementation of urban reforms, as well as equipment, services and human and physical resources are elements who have spoken in urban areas. The aim of this paper is to understand the transformation of the urban structure of Toluca city - from the confiscation of church property - allowing us to identify the main effects in its urban layout, its public and urban growth of the city spaces. By using a historiographical approach, it was possible to demonstrate that the seizure caused some changes in the shape of the current city after church properties have been sold and there were other facts, which has also affected the urban configuration of Toluca.
