A City Plan for Pamplona

Abstract

The paper tells us of Pamplona’s tight town centre’s being nucleus to a working cityscape that spreads well
beyond the original’s formal boundaries and of how the historical city originally stood and grew upon a table-
land and those adjoining valleys that have borne the brunt of its more recent developments.
The City Plan of the title is said to envisage a medium density core city tightly networked and in constant
and intense link up with the opportunities offered to it by those burgeoning outskirts that are the offshoots
of the developed original. The projected city as a whole is given structure by an all embracing system of
open spaces that harmonise with the territory as such be it with its rivers, hills or the scarpings of its tablelands
to thus lend cohesion to the projected city as au urban unity. This systematic approach common to
the city as a whole and taking in its all be this on the most general scale or down to its most particular and
domestic details aims at being a means towards promoting an equal access to open spaces and those facilities
as might be installed upon them. City space, facilities and their enjoyment are here tied in with a systematic
distribution of projected open ground.
