Abstract

The paper studies Cerda's creating of concepts that would allow for the articulating of the legal and administrative procedures proper to T&C Planning. His being a Civil Engineer though possessed of an overall vision of planning fed by his social, economic and legal studies, is here held to have enabled him to guess at and put forward legal procedures for the financial and administrative under-pinning of Planning that are still surprising for their operative validity and their being grounded upon notions of equity in the sharing of advantage and disadvantage within planning matters central yet to most thinking on the question as the author sees any study of Comparative Law as bearing out. The establishing of criteria for the balancing out of the three basic elements of Regulated Building, Technical Planning Projects and Financial Budgeting is here thought to be Cerda's major contribution to his field and this, even though his formulations have often been bungled by others, to have had a decisive influence upon planning legislation in Spain from the latter part of the 19C. on through to the present day.
