Abstract

The obsolescence that characterises current municipal planning in Spain should encourage its reformulation, impregnating it with new urban planning principles that allow the wounds caused by the territorial legacy of the last real estate bubble to be healed. To this end, both the reference documents drawn up by the institutional framework - European and Spanish - and the new legal codification in the field of spatial and urban planning make an unequivocal commitment to promoting a transformational urban planning based on promoting the contraction of the unusual growth expectations set out in the bubble planning and, at the same time, using the integral urban regeneration of our cities as a defensive argument against the temptation to continue the path of territorial mercantilisation of the recent past. However, the splitting up into separate documents -propelled by the legislative reforms undertaken in certain Autonomous Communities- of the determinations relating to structural planning and detailed planning does not seem to fit in effectively with this new axiological ideology.
