Abstract

The paper opens with a brief description of the principle advantages offered by the Ministry of Development's HIPODAMOS programme, a project developed to be useful and valid when answering problems arising from any and every question touching upon Spanish Town and Country Planning Administration. Said Programme is structured by the GIS land registry upon which such pertinent geometric data is then projected, data bases and attributions to any scale of municipal planning then being superimposed upon this web. This allows for the on-going administering and following-up of all such activity, be it registering, planning or cadastral or right down to ground sub-lotting, planning permissions, groups and the todating of plans and their development. In the second part of the paper, a closer analysis is made of some of the essential concepts on which the 3.0 version that is still under development are based. This, we are told, will allow for the simulation of planning and be up to calculating building maximums, typologies, applications and thus unit and average capacities and land values. Not only this, said programme is here held to be capable of foreseeing town planning futures, be this for the district, projects or lot by lot, building by building and of thus offering, at last, the dream of taking decisions with foreknowledge of the pros and cons of contrasted yet possible options and their effects.
