Abstract

For the paper the Law as to Land Use and Town and Country Planning Act of 12 May 1956 was a legal event of the first magnitude that at one go endowed Spain with that complete urbanistic system which, albeit with the two reforms that it underwent, she still enjoys in its general outlines to this day. A study is made of the period from the passing of this first law on through to approving of its first reforming in the Act of 2 May 1975. The accommodating of its new institutions as within the body of urbanistic knowledge and those problems that it gave rise to and which led to its first reforming undertaken in 1972 and approved in the law of 1975 just before the nation's great political upheaval are likewise examined. While the Law of 1956 was still on the books, government pushed ahead with a major policy of setting up industrial and housing estates which were out of keeping with its overall doctrine. Though the Law of 1975 is here considered to be a major legal event though lacking the ground breaking importance of its predecessor, it is felt that it had a greater overall impact. The paper concludes by arguing their new concept of land ownership, of a rationalized overall planning and its all-embracing management to have been these Laws principal contributions when all is said and done.
