Abstract

The discipline (historically) in charge of establishing an operative for decision making regarding the model of territorial urban planning of our cities tries to overcome the already systemic crisis of its methodological tool par excellence, the Land Use General Master Plan. There is a paradigm shift from the one based on the culture of plan and regulatory orthodoxy towards more heterodox procedures -mainly based on the project's uniqueness and its articulation through strategic management-. This shift is configuring a new type of urbanism, limited territorially and temporarily conditioned (as a consequence of the scale and programming that this type of -partial- interventions on the urban supposes), a "myopic" urbanism, which does not manage to have a global vision on the long term of the urban model that the city must pretend for its future. This paper analyzes the current state of municipal urban planning, proving the impact that this paradigm shift has had -and still has- on it, and therefore on the underlying urban models and on those deriving from it, certifying, according to the results obtained, its eminent -already dramatic- obsolescence.
