Given the proposal to reflect on the current crisis of Spanish urban planning, beyond a certain conviction that, after the first and notable generation of democracy plans, it is in a permanent crisis, I present some synthetic notes on some factors that condition, in my opinion, the necessary reform of urban activity. The term "enemies" refers to what I consider objective obstacles to renovation, and which are related to the framework of action in which urban planning works today. In order to release the potential of urban planning techniques, adapted to the urban ecosystem, planning must lose its regulatory profile and the burden imposed by the rigidities of a very unique land regime. In order to recover its territorial and strategic dimensions, it would be possible a process of consolidation of rights associated with quality criteria and by its correct implementation in the urban reality.
