Spatial concentration and land ownership, real estate monster projects and landscape change. The ‘Valdeluz’ project
Keywords:

The paper examines the ongoing process of the concentrating and ownership of real estate as being
a key factor behind the rise of monster projects in this over recent years. A graph-based picture of
this, grounded on date drawn from rates estimates and land registration, is used to show how the
landscape spatial organizing and territory itself have been changed and of how the dispersed city has
come to be with us. The monster ´Cuidad Valdeluz´ building project and how this is set down upon
the territory it occupies, the world in which this ambitious territorial project came into being,
supplanting as it does an immense rural estate, its being though out in the country linked to and by
a high-speed (AVE) train line, all these considerations are covered by this paper. The new development
with its 30,000 inhabitants equals the population of Teruel´s Provincial Capital yet its reality is that
of a part of the meta-metropolis of Madrid. For the author, this makes it a prime example of the
inherent contradiction within the dispersed city idea of Town and Country Planning where a very
limited growth in population requires an oversized one in built up available space.
