Abstract

It is not a new idea, in fact the proximity city recovers the configuration of the dense classic Mediterranean cities, of mixed uses and with a proximity to the pedestrian scale of the main services that are usually done. Its attributes had already been included in the old Agenda 21 of 2005 and in the current Urban Agenda of 2015, but with the situations derived from the Covid-19 pandemic, new opportunities open up to promote the city of proximity, reconvert public spaces previously destined to the private vehicle and at the same time to intensify the actions against the climate crisis that are complementary in the objective of achieving a healthier and friendlier city.
