Abstract

From an initial analysis of the transport problem as within historical city centres and of those policies and interventions that are in themselves here seen as a drag upon the achieving of an actualized standard of acceptable well-being, a methodology is thence developed as are criteria for the regulating of streets and mobility in such zones. The Madrid Plans For Preferential Intervention (P. I. P.) of 1988 and 1989 of the Madrid Housing Body are here closely examined as to their bearing on these questions. In the second part of the article a close examination is made of the study on transport and the ordering of public amenity space that formed a part of the Special Plan for the Regulating, Bettering and Protection of the Old City District of León, as here special care was given to granting special treatment, to the using of thoroughfares favourable to walkers, to the activities proper to the district and to both an improvement in the general tone there existing and a harmonizing of elements in terms of the historical characteristics of that place.
