Abstract

The object of this article is to point up the vast demands on territory made of late by the low density
urbanization model’s transport needs in the Canary Islands. Because of this acquired need that area set aside
in the Islands for transport infrastructures (this including domains, public access zones and permitted rights
of way) is greater than that set aside for urbanizing proper. This is here held to clearly demonstrate the poor
sustainability prospects of the low density urbanizing model of the Eighties in the Canary Islands. The
drawbacks of the model are here seen not only to be its drain upon territory, but also the calls it makes for
vast amounts of money to be laid out upon the construction and conservation of new highways this and its
harvest of accidents, contamination, time lost in travel and much else besides.
