Abstract

The warrant for the use of ecological postulates in urban or regional studies is to be found in the labours of certain northamerican living-space project elaborators such as MacHargh and in the work of what has been called the «Physical Planification » School. Later, a certain cutting back as to the scope of such considerations has been felt as these have become more and more concrete and narrower (the rise of cnviromental impact measuring EIA). At the same time, limiting and prohibiting decisions have given way to blander «handling» recommendations. In recent years the unstoppable rise of «Informatics» along with a glib reverence for «Nature» and «lnponderables » such as «The Spirit of The Landscape» have been the rage. Spanish History likewise can offer a whole series of examples in which considerations of this sort have been taken into account, can show many an example of the results of their having held sway.
