Abstract

Public intervention in the city in order to better both its quality and efficiency is a key question and one politically both important and nettled, this most especially given the high urban concentration of our society. The consolidation and accomodation of the Spanish city system within that of Europe, must then be a matter of prime importance within any policy of intergration within the EEC. Given the hard facts of the matter are that the national territory is a single factor within which three levels of administration share resposibilities, there is a call for establishing adequate and stable means towards mutual agreement with respect to initiatives affecting the national territory as a whole. The PDI 1993-2007 is a first attempt at medium and long term planning for the initiatives of the Ministries of Public Works, Transport and the Environment as to the Nation as a whole. It is rounded out in this respect with a defining by type for initiatives as between the intercity and the metropolitan cum urban with respect to intermodal transport system planning. The PDI offers an open and flexible methodological framework within which to develop varying programmes for urban initiatives. Its Intermodal Plans for Transport, seeking to gather all the initiatives of this sector within a mutually agreed upon intermodal national territory level planning and its Specific Initiatives, seen here as the answer to any specific call for intervention in relation to great infrastructure operations are felt by the paper to be the outstanding programmes as to their effect upon the major metropolitan areas, but this always by means of a process of all round and stable agreements as to the planning, financing, carrying through, management, planning and control of the matters in hand.
