Ensanche means "widening" in Spanish. It is used to name the development areas of Spanish cities around the end of the 19th century, when the demographic explosion and the Industrial Revolution prompted the tearing down of the old city wall and the construction of neighborhoods under grid plans.

It is specifically used for:

The Eixample (Catalan for "ensanche") of Barcelona, planned by Ildefonso Cerdá.
The Ensanche of Bilbao after the annexation of the former village of Abando.
