No. 18 (2015): The counter-reformist urbanism: administrators, developers, financiers, land owners, politicians, ideologues, professionals and snipers, against the city

We live times where the  principles that guided the so-called Reformist Urbanism is lapsing into disuse, giving way to precisely those political-administrative practices that it fought.

It can be said that we are witnessing a true Counter-reform that’s exiling the urban presuppositions born under the protection of the rationality that was being created, during the sixties, in Italy to expand later to the rest of Europe, especially Spain.

The principles of the Reformist Urbanism have been described and verified on several occasions, from the common link of the plan as a tool, for the planning of a balanced urban development, for the alternative option to the “urban model of land income” and the equality materialized on the universal access to urban services.
