Study on the current situation in Spain of areas or sectors with particular edifying potential included in the Urban Information System (UIS)
The Spanish Ministry of Public Works establishes, among others, the Directorate-General of Land and Urban Policies, which recently published a research on the current situation of areas or sectors with particular edifying potential included in the Urban Information System (UIS). The publication pays special attention to the main areas or residential sectors listed in the Spanish UIS database. Firstly, in order to highlight the potential of homes that are derived from the current planning. And second, to provide basic data fields and sectors such as those related to development and construction process.
Selection criteria for the areas considered within the research
To narrow the scope of the study, development areas were selected within the Spanish municipalities which are currently in the UIS with an expected number of homes less than 1000 units and whose degree of building is less than 70% according to the UIS database. From each of the municipalities included in this study a summary is provided with information from both the municipality itself, as well as the areas of development that are listed in the 2 conditions mentioned earlier. The 3 areas which are focussed on throughout the research are:
- Urban soil;
- Land development areas;
- Major residential developments pending edification.
Thorough information on Spanish urban development areas
Of the most significant residential developments included in
this publication, images and maps are shown that allow the reader
to approach the reality of the field and really learn about the
process of development that that area underwent. Moreover, in those
sectors that have undergone urban development in recent years and
belong to municipalities with more than 100,000 inhabitants,
complete information is given. This provides an additional approach
to its evolution using the base data from urban cadastral mapping.
These maps allow us to approach the process of urbanization and how
and when the houses have been built within the scope of the sector
from years passed to the present.
