Urbanism in the 21 century: Urban and territorial agendas
Eulalia Moreno de Acevedo Yagúe. DGUOT Junta de Extremadura.
For me, urban planning is what, in the best of cases, regulates the already existing territorial reality.
My professional career as an urban planner has taken place in this context. It is like running after a materiality that happens in an orderly or arbitrary way, with no future projection, an urbanism embodied by a society which, as a whole, remains convinced neither of its regulation nor of its efficacy. Then there is the other part of society that consciously ignores it, which undoubtedly helps to enrich its own particular interests. And finally, the least of this society, those of us who believe, probably from utopia, that things can be changed and/or improved.
