Abstract

This article makes a tentative and experimental exploration aimed at promoting a change of
cycle in current urban planning, expressive of the territorial unreason ability characteristic of the
prodigious decade of Spanish urban planning (1997-2007). Data on the explosive urban development
situation in 74 municipalities belonging to the territorial domain of the Andalusian coast are presented
and a taxonomy of the actions pending development - affected by a situation of temporary drowsiness - is
carried out, evaluating the capacity conferred by the current legislative framework to alter its urban
development determinations in order to reduce, recycle and optimize, in terms of sustainability, this
abandoned but expectant physical capital. The following guidelines and recommendations are set out
below to promote the metamorphosis of the expansive urbanism of those years into a regenerative
urbanism, which has been called «des-den urbanism» in accordance with the proposed development
strategies which, to conclude, have been applied to the case study of the Andalusian coast.
