Publicated to: CIUDAD Y TERRITORIO ESTUDIOS TERRITORIALES CyTET. 55 (217): 597-634 - 2023-01-01 55(217), DOI: 10.37230/CyTET.2023.217.3

Abstract

The Spanish planning system is going through a deep crisis of legitimacy that affects its technical, legal and social dimensions. This article analyzes the epistemological foundations of this crisis from the perspective of the historical formation of planning. It analyzes the consequences that the singular link between the plan as a technical tool for territorial government and as an instrument for regulating the status of land ownership has on the obsolescence of the system: overregulation, bureaucratization and judicialization of planning. The article formulates an alternative reform proposal from a strategic conception of the municipal plan as a tool for spatial governance and a platform for dialogue between civil society and public authorities, aimed at the implementation of a renewed agenda of objectives for the urban transition.
