The paper provides an analysis of the difference in the tools adopted in the Spanish urban policies between the two last EU programming cycles (2014–2020 and 2021–2027). After an introduction with references to the policy framework and the literature, a methodological section describes the focus of the research, the source of the data and how this information has been used for the comparative purpose of the work. The following section (Results) provides the comparison of the contents of the policy documents delivered by the Spanish cities involved in the urban agenda, with reference to the type of actions selected, the overlapping of thematic and strategic focus through the two periods, the budget allocated, etc. In the conclusive sections the attempt is to highlights analogies and differences between the two policy periods, pointing out the future investigation needed to provide a more comprehensive outlook on the question addressed in the paper.

This paper proposes a flexible methodology for ecosystem assessment oriented to climate-change adaptation and mitigation policies focused on ecosystem protection. This analysis is based on a methodology developed at the European level which is adapted and applied in a specific Spanish context, providing a practical application that can be replicated in other European contexts after cartographic adaptation. The novelty of the proposed method is the inclusion of ecosystem assessment for land use planning as an element to consider when justifying the reasons for land protection. It involves three main steps. The first step introduces the spatial information of the different ecosystems of the study area, including the identification of ecosystem services (ES) and the capacity of the different ecosystems to provide them. The second step proposes the ecosystem assessment methodology at the regional and local planning scale based on the Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services (MAES) project. The third step concerns the evaluation of the expected impacts on the ecosystems due to land-use-planning-related development trajectories to depict the possible negative consequences on ES. Such results show how the integration of ES assessments into land use planning tools could motivate land protection through providing evidence information on ecosystem risks, ES loss, or both.

Este artículo investiga el aporte de la figura de Leonardo Benevolo en el campo de la historia de la arquitectura y el urbanismo a través de la revisión crítica de su pensamiento, focalizando la atención sobre algunas de sus obras. El interés por investigar la figura de Benevolo nace de la necesidad de analizar un perfil biográfico profundo y singular de arquitecto, urbanista e historiador ya que, a nivel internacional, su impacto cultural no parece haber sido plenamente reconocido, debido a la ausencia de estudios detallados que expliquen con claridad cómo su pensamiento ha sido entendido e interpretado en otros países. Aunque los académicos italianos reconozcan su aporte a la formación de una cultura arquitectónica y urbanística fundadas en el conocimiento de sus raíces históricas y evolución en el tiempo, este trabajo propone abordar el debate teórico a nivel internacional en torno a diversas monografías. Con este propósito, se propone llevar a cabo una revisión de las críticas publicadas acerca de cuatro de sus obras más destacadas (Storia dell’architettura moderna, Le origini dell’urbanistica moderna, Storia della città y La città nella storia d’Europa), con especial atención a cómo su legado ha sido apreciado por la crítica a nivel internacional. La metodología adoptada, llevada a cabo a través de un trabajo de búsqueda en varias bases de datos, lleva al entendimiento de las razones que subyacen a las opiniones negativas que, según los intelectuales internacionales, sobre todo anglosajones, caracterizan el pensamiento de Benevolo.

The article addresses a topic of international interest within urban planning, architecture and reconstruction history, with added timeliness given ongoing debates on reconstruction: the implementation challenges and consequences of post-WWII reconstruction plans in Italy, exemplified by Genoa’s Reconstruction Plan (RP) and General Master Plan (GMP) from 1945 to 1960. The methods employed – primarily archival research, supplemented by literature review – helped to interpret the case study considering three scales of interventions (neighbourhood, individual buildings, and open spaces) resulting from the RP implementation amidst past planning trends and successive modifications. The research findings show delays, speculative practices, fragmented governance, and the limited effectiveness of public oversight, emphasising the dominance of private interests and the enduring legacies of RP and GMP for Genoa’s urban development. By doing so, the research tries to situate the Genoa case in broader debates in the attempt to make a contribution not only to Italian planning history but also to comparative studies of post-war urban governance.

This work addresses the urban transformations planned within the development of World Expos in Spain (Barcelona 1888 and 1929, and Seville 1992), along with other international exhibitions (Zaragoza 1908 and 2008, Seville 1929, and Barcelona 2004) with the aim to explore the role of these mega-events as urban experiments reflecting the aspirations and challenges of different époques. The hypothesis is that the Spanish exhibitions can be approached as symptoms rather than the main cause of urban transformations. While the mainstream literature focused on single events in Spain, this research provides a study based on a reflection on the urban transformation tied to the event and the post-event use of the venues and their insertion in the wider urban fabric. Two are the main outcomes. First, this study demonstrates that the 1888-to-1929 expositions fostered the conversion of Barcelona, Seville and Zaragoza into ‘modern’ cities’ by providing monumental and representative spaces converted for everyday use under urban renewal and city expansion. Second, the 1992–2008 expositions attempted to turn these cities into ‘world cities’ centred on urban regeneration processes and mega-projects, with mixed results, ranging from useful insights on urban structuring to wasteful use of resources in large buildings.

The fringes between urban areas and their surrounding territory usually concentrate strains of transformation and urban growth. Equally, planning strategies that promote the adaptation of urban development to the identity of territory contribute to the resilience of these urban fringes. This paper aims to illustrate this idea through the analysis of three of Spain’s inland medium-sized cities during the period of intense urban growth that started in the eighties and concluded in 2008. The cases of Vitoria, Zaragoza, and Valladolid clearly show the negative consequences of an expansive urban model in their urban fringes, but also the alternatives that slowly emerged over this period. While the main urban planning tools enabled an unsustainable urban expansion, other planning proposals introduced an alternative approach that mitigated the effects of the real estate boom and have paved the way towards a better future: Vitoria with its green infrastructure, Zaragoza with its integrated development effort that took advantage of an International Exhibition and Valladolid with its coordinated planning. These different tools have a key feature in common: a deep comprehension of their territories as the strongest foundation for conducting urban development in more sustainable ways.

In the postwar period, the strong economic growth in Western countries coincided with the configuration of their modern urban planning systems. This article aims at exploring to what extent the targets of the economic planning that was broadly adopted in this growth period conditioned the performance of urban planning tools by analyzing the case of Spain. During the so-called “Spanish miracle” that started in the early 1960s and lasted until the mid-1970s, there were notable contradictions between economic and spatial planning policies and between the performance of the national and the municipal governments. It is concluded that the lack of an integrated approach to regional and urban planning policies at national level combined to the gap with the actual local planning framework, illustrated through the example of three cities, can help to understand the patterns of urban growth in a context of an expanding economy.

Il contributo ricostruisce la storia dei progetti di Renzo Piano per Genova, a partire dal primo progetto, non realizzato, risalente ai primi anni Ottanta per il recupero della zona del Molo nel Centro storico, alle prime ipotesi progettuali per il recupero del Porto Antico, passando poi per la realizzazione dell’Expo del 1992 e agli interventi per il 2001, fino ad arrivare, in anni più recenti, a tre proposte di riorganizzazione complessiva del waterfront urbano. Lo scritto mette in evidenza elementi di continuità nell’impostazione di Renzo Piano, occasioni perdute, sedimentazione di idee progettuali generate anche da progetti non realizzati, dibattito suscitato nella città, ruolo degli attori locali. Saranno analizzate idee, visioni e immagini di città sottese alle proposte, soprattutto nel rapporto porto storico-città e, più in generale, nello studio degli elementi di compatibilità fra sviluppo della città e del porto, tema quest’ultimo presente in quasi tutte le proposte del celebre architetto.; The paper retraces the history of Renzo Piano’s projects for Genoa, starting from the first project, not realised, dating back to the early 1980s for the Dock area’s recovery in the Historic centre, to the first hypotheses for the recovery of the Old Port. Then, passing through the realisation of the 1992 Expo and the interventions for 2001, the text relates the more recent three proposals for the overall reorganisation of the urban waterfront. The paper highlights elements of continuity in Renzo Piano’s approach, lost opportunities, sedimentation of design ideas generated even by unrealised projects, debate aroused in the city, and the role of local actors. Proposals’ ideas, visions and images of cities will be analysed, especially in the relationship between the Old Port and the city, mostly related to the elements of compatibility between the development of the city and the port, which is a theme present in almost all the famous architect’s proposals.

Il contributo analizza criticamente la genesi, la diffusione e gli esiti dell’urbanistica riformista italiana e spagnola a partire dalle esperienze teoriche e operative di Giuseppe Campos Venuti e Federico Oliva, con particolare attenzione ai contesti di Bologna, Roma e Madrid. Attraverso una ricostruzione storica e interpretativa, il testo evidenzia come l’urbanistica riformista abbia rappresentato un tentativo di superare il “modello della rendita fondiaria urbana” mediante strumenti orientati all’austerità, alla tutela del patrimonio costruito, al riequilibrio socio-spaziale e alla centralità dell’interesse pubblico nel governo del territorio. La diffusione di tali principi in Spagna, favorita dagli scambi accademici e dalla consulenza di Campos Venuti e Oliva, trova la sua massima espressione nel Piano Generale di Madrid del 1985, che tuttavia incontrò forti ostacoli applicativi. L’articolo mostra come, in entrambi i Paesi, i dispositivi normativi e le dinamiche del mercato immobiliare abbiano progressivamente svuotato i presupposti riformisti, determinando una “controriforma” che ha favorito la deregulation, la terziarizzazione dei centri storici e l’acuirsi delle disuguaglianze urbane. Il lavoro interpreta tale fallimento non come limite concettuale della riforma, bensì come esito di un sistema politico-economico incapace di sostenere politiche realmente redistributive. La riflessione conclusiva propone una rilettura critica dell’eredità di Oliva e Campos Venuti alla luce delle attuali trasformazioni urbane, ponendo in evidenza la persistente centralità del tema della rendita e del rapporto pubblico-privato nel governo delle città contemporanee.; This paper critically analyses the origins, dissemination, and outcomes of Italian and Spanish reformist urbanism, focusing on the theoretical and operational experiences of Giuseppe Campos Venuti and Federico Oliva, with particular attention to the contexts of Bologna, Rome, and Madrid. Through a historical and interpretative reconstruction, the paper shows how reformist urbanism represented an attempt to overcome the “urban land rent model” by means of planning tools oriented toward austerity, the protection of the built heritage, socio-spatial rebalancing, and the centrality of the public interest in territorial governance. The dissemination of these principles in Spain, fostered by academic exchanges and by the consultancy work of Campos Venuti and Oliva, found its most accomplished expression in the 1985 Madrid General Plan, which nevertheless encountered major implementation obstacles. The article demonstrates how, in both countries, normative devices and real estate market dynamics progressively emptied reformist assumptions of their substance, leading to a “counter-reform” that promoted deregulation, the tertiarisation of historic centres, and the intensification of urban inequalities. The study interprets this failure not as a conceptual weakness of the reform, but as the outcome of a political–economic system incapable of sustaining genuinely redistributive policies. The concluding discussion offers a critical rereading of the legacy of Oliva and Campos Venuti in light of current urban transformations, highlighting the persistent centrality of land rent and public–private relations in the governance of contemporary cities.

Entre 1971 y 1973 el paisajista uruguayo Leandro Silva, recién afincado en España, desarrolló el proyecto de transformación de la plaza de Logroño, para la que el consistorio buscaba una fuente monumental en un jardín público (conocido hoy como parque de la Cruz Roja), en la ciudad de Burgos. Su elemento principal fue una fuente que, a ras del suelo, disponía de noventa chorros, permitiendo así la interacción lúdica con el agua, lo que por entonces era algo muy novedoso. El objetivo de esta investigación es certificar dicha innovación y contextualizarla tanto en el panorama del diseño paisajista del espacio público, como en la trayectoria vital y profesional de Silva. En términos metodológicos se trata de una investigación histórica con una caracterización compositiva del proyecto. Se analiza el uso del agua en las fuentes públicas en su interacción con el juego y el jardín públicos en el escenario internacional previo al proyecto, las influencias y la trayectoria del autor y, finalmente, el concurso de anteproyectos y las características del proyecto. Silva innova aquí por el uso lúdico del agua, pero también por arroparlo con un diseño orgánico, el acondicionamiento topográfico y la propuesta de especies, con el aprovechamiento de la chopera prexistente, todo ello para multiplicar la capacidad de acogida. Episodios de diseño que podrían parecer anecdóticos, en un contexto hostil, definen posturas que posibilitan el avance disciplinar.

In 1971, while the Taller de Arquitectura was beginning the pro- ject for Walden 7, the team received the commission to build a housing complex in the ville nouvelle of Cergy-Pontoise on the outskirts of Paris. Continuing with the working method that began with the book “Towards a Formalization of the City in Space”, the Taller established a construction system for the pro- ject of 1000 homes, which they would call Le Petite Cathédrale, based on working with models and creating a clear spatial order. However, unlike the Walden 7 project, this small cathedral began to address the concerns of the Taller members, seek- ing formal relationships with the architecture present in the Mediterranean city. For the team, in this project, the form is the “what,” the final objective, and the “how” is the Carte- sian arrangement of the modules. Thus, Le Petite Cathédrale becomes the last example of the team’s modular work; an unbuilt project that marks the end of a line of research, that of the city in space, and opens the door to a new attitude in approaching a project, based on form and image.

El convento franciscano de Santa Marina fue uno de los más relevantes de la ciudad de Zamora. Tras su exclaustración en 1868, pasó a manos del Estado, aunque el cenobio y su capilla siguieron distintos caminos. El primero acogió la sede del Gobierno Civil y de la delegación de Hacienda. El segundo, aunque se dedicó temporalmente a almacén, volvió a abrirse a los feligreses, para finalmente destinarse a albergar el Museo de Zamora. Con el tiempo, el edificio se quedó obsoleto debido a la demanda de espacio y a la falta de mantenimiento. Progresivamente, las instituciones se trasladaron con el fin de derribar el convento y sustituirlo por un nuevo edificio institucional y una plaza pública. Se analiza aquí el proceso burocrático entre instituciones a favor y en contra de su derribo, así como el origen y evolución de la plaza resultante con los cambios sufridos hasta la actualidad.

Durante las décadas de los sesenta y setenta el equipo Taller de Arquitectura -un equipo multidisciplinar formado en torno a la figura de Ricardo Bofill- investigó como debía ser la vivienda del futuro. Desde el encargo del proyecto para el Barrio Gaudí en la ciudad de Reus (1968) hasta el proyecto del Walden 7 a las afueras de Barcelona (1978) podemos ver una evolución de cómo el equipo se enfrentó al problema de la célula de vivienda, buscando una solución que diera respuesta a los modos de vida de la nueva sociedad. Viviendas que crecían en función de cuánta gente las habitaba, huyendo de la compartimentación de las casas, o buscar un mayor espacio vividero garantizando un espacio propio donde el individuo pudiera desarrollarse, fueron las principales preocupaciones del Taller. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la evolución de las propuestas de Taller de Arquitectura, para así identificar los mecanismos de proyecto que dan como resultado las viviendas del Walden, y comprobar si su propuesta es válida para la vivienda contemporánea a través de la revisión bibliográfica y el análisis gráfico de los proyectos.

This research wants to show the possibility of quickly making high-quality photogrammetric models using 360-degree panoramic photographs, but made using low-cost, single-shot cameras. Currently there is a wide variety of single shot cameras, in which the shape of the camera can vary according to the number of lenses that it incorporates in the camera mount, but this will directly affect the quality of the photography. result and in the price of the team. The fundamental characteristic of single-shot cameras is that they are capable of capturing a 360-degree panoramic photo at the very moment of shooting, which allows to greatly reduce data collection times compared to the normal method of taking photos spherical. This occurs thanks to the fact that they have several lenses that allow them to capture everything that happens around them in a fraction of a second. In addition, the composition times of the final image are also reduced, since they incorporate a processor that allows them to stitch the panorama automatically. These features make data capture very fast, greatly reducing work times. To demonstrate the efficiency of this equipment, several tests have been carried out in different spaces, interior and exterior, of the Cathedral of Plasencia. For each data set, the object documentation was performed twice. The first time it was done with a Faro Focus 3D laser scanner to generate the highly metrically accurate control model. And the second time a Xiaomi Mi Sphere camera was used to generate the comparison model. The photogrammetric models were processed with the Agisoft Metashape software and the comparison of the models in the CloudCompare software. The results obtained in these comparisons have been very promising, showing the effectiveness of these cameras to quickly document heritage. All the data on working times, geometric precision of the models, metric deviations, etc. They are shown below in the document.

Entre 1938 y 1945, el arquitecto del Midwest, Ralph Rapson, participó en numerosos concursos y programas de vivienda patrocinados por diversas revistas de los Estados Unidos. El trabajo de Rapson durante esos años es en gran medida desconocido, y ha llegado hasta nosotros a través de sus originales dibujos. En ellos Rapson desarrolló un estilo gráfico que llegó a convertirse en su marca personal, además de mostrar su creatividad e innegable destreza. Sus diseños para los concursos fueron experimentales e innovadores, incorporando la modulación, la prefabricación y la mecanización a la casa americana. Además, sus dibujos también nos muestran su interés por crear espacios flexibles e integrados en el paisaje, llegando a dar forma con sus proyectos de viviendas al estilo de vida doméstica que surgirá en Norteamérica tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
