Abstract

During recent decades Spain has undergone the effects of, first, a higt economic growth rate, then of a severe slump, this followed by its transformation into a State with autonomic communities. the whole then topped by her intergration within the European Economic Community. Each of these periods mark s a different phase for her regional planning. The abandoning of regional planning as such was due in part to the economic crisis, the rise of neo-liberalism, the hitherto poor showing of regional policies and these being pushed aside in their power to approve by other mechanisms. In Spain, furthermore, the haste of some to sweep up the last vestiges of Franco's decadent years must not be overlooked. Spain has of late joined in the movement towards refurbishing the values of regional planning. Having drawn up a multiplicity of regional planning schemes for each and every one of her Autonomic Communities, the Government has seen fit to pass in 1989 a long term territorial stratagy, founding this upon a typological classification of the nation's regions and basing itself on projects for which it will be able to count on funding from structuring sources within the EEC, particularly from the FEDER. The importance that is given to the establishing of infrastructures and equipping is here noteworthy in its drive to develop and articulate the whole, especially in the light of that role hitherto ascribed to regional incentives.
