Abstract

The idea of the Urban Agenda as a strategic framework for cities is not a novelty, as the working methods that sought a paradigm shift in our relationship with the environment have been taking shape since the seventies. Nevertheless, the assumption of the limited state of natural resources and of having crossed the point of environmental non-return resulting in climate change, has not arrived until very recently, and not even in a generalized manner. In this context, the Urban Agenda of Malaga launched in 2015 -one of the pioneers in the new format- observes in an integral and holistic way the objectives of urban configuration, mobility, urban metabolism, biodiversity, social cohesion and citizen participation in the horizon of 2050. Unfortunately, this Agenda has not been followed by all stakeholders, private and public managers. One of the characteristics of the Malaga Agenda is the promotion of the compact, complex and proximity city, and its system of sustainability indicators. The papers ends presenting some examples of actions developed in Malaga: the search for increasing the complexity of the city -fighting the urban sprawl of the last decades-, and the Climate Plan.
