Ricardo Domínguez Urbano-Taylor
Ricardo Domínguez Urbano-Taylor was a Venezuelan businessman, town planner and journalist. In 1952, he bought from Ángel Corao El Heraldo, a well-known Caracas newspaper. In 1956, he launched a humorous publication called "El Gavilán Colorao" in "Actualidades" with painter Luis Alfredo López Méndez and journalist Kotepa Delgado. Simultaneously, Domínguez engaged in the development of Caracas's eastern side where he helped design and finance the construction of residential neighborhoods such as La Castellana, Altamira and El Country Club alongside his lifelong friends and associates José Loreto Arismendi, Luis Roche and Werner Heuer Lares. His later attempts to develop Caricuao were hindered by an agrarian reform decreed by President Rómulo Betancourt, a former employee of Domínguez.
He was the brother in law of Juan García Gruber.
