Abstract

Territorial and urban development has been evolving at a different rhythm than the normative regulation of planning instruments; even though, urban planning, regardless of the content provided for in the legislation, has been including new social and environmental requirements, developing a previous territorial strategy or its own objectives. The Plan has been transformed over time, identifying itself with the site, ordering and structuring different territories from an apparent instrumental uniformity. Introducing landscape, mobility, green infrastructure, local agriculture into the definition of municipal planning has been a necessity and a challenge in the definition of general planning instruments, as is the case of Torrelavega. Planning has become an adventure which allows us to recreate new ways of inhabiting, relating to each other, protecting and using a territory. The form, the package, is less important than the intrinsic content of the Plan; it is possible to approach the needs of a challenging and complex city as Torrelavega using existing instruments, through the introduction of new patterns which allow an immersion in the exciting urban and territorial planning world.
