Abstract

March 13, 2020: Spain came to a standstill. Not so Urban Law, as legislators joined a collective effort to overcome the social and economic crisis induced by the pandemic. And then war, and then a new crisis approaching. All of it stimulates regulatory reforms -in fact multiplied. This text gives an overview of the evolution of Spanish Urban Law in the last five years, quoting a handful of interesting examples and trends, such as the general dissemination of Strategic Projects at the territorial level, “Responsible Declaration” at the local level, Simplification as a legislative MacGuffin and Decree-law as the star figure. An exhaustive inventory can be consulted in the Spanish Official Gazette urban codes: BOE.es - Biblioteca Jurídica Digital.
