Abstract

Telde, the second city of Gran Canaria, neighbouring on its capital, Las Palmas is, at present, suffering the drawbacks of this last mentioned circumstance: uncontrolled mushrooming, urban encroachment on its agriculture, foreign housing types uncongenial to its nature, speeded up population growth and uncontrolled ground occupation. It is precisely in this context of apparently unordered special parametres that the General Plan aspires to reordering all these around the idea of a classically centred city, doing so by making all forsceable growth bow to this notion, arguing the obvious benefits of such a structuring and using tax and rates pressure and the promise of a higher urban standard of life as a curb on these hitherto uncontrolled forces of expansion.
