Abstract

Over recent years urban practice in Ponferrada reached major levels of confl ict between political
forces on the Local Council, tensions that were then passed on down to other local institutions. A
unilateral decision-making process led to the taking over of important projects and urban activity
measures by the Local Council, through the agency of Pongesur, a public land development company,
but also opened the way for the legal hamstringing of local urban planning practice and this, the
paper claims, explains why the 2007 General Urban Plan was born crippled by fl awed decision
making.
