Abstract

In Europe, the urban plan is changing into a more complex legal document, and is loosing its initial purpose of "giving shape" to the city; in that way, new intervention proposals are appearing, as for example the Strategic Plans. In that way, in the present article, it is questioned if the urban planification tries to get a better quality of life, or if it tries to be useful for the economic development, being the quality of life the final consecuence. It is not answered but it deals about sorne ideas of the relation between cities and richness. So there are comments to sorne texts chosen because all of them respond to the same concept: "the cities are richer and more successful, when they are more creative".
