RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 The Seville-Bonanza Canal: A public policy failure A1 Ponce Alberca, Julio A2 Ediciones Universidad de Valladolid K1 Historia moderna y contemporánea AB During the sixties, the idea of building a canal to promote the economic development of Seville through the river gained momentum. The initiative –already started in 1953– sought to create an industrial conurbation between the Andalusian capital and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. It was supported by various industrial and commercial sectors of Seville, as well as by local political-administrative institutions. The initiative was also fostered by the Chief of State, general Franco. However, that project actually failed. ¿How such a strong public policy could have been thwarted despite of the support of the dictatorial regime?
