Spain: Urban Decentralisation.

Abstract
The growth of Spain's cities has generally followed a set pattern: the city remained enclosed within its medieval walls until the mid-nineteenth century; expansion beyond the walls followed in the late 19th and 20th centuries forming the city's "ensanche" (expansion), usually based on a development plan; then, the mid 20th century witnessed the growth of the periphery and its overflowing into the metropolitan area. In recent years, however, attempts have been made to create satellite settlements and new towns outside of the main cities, including the new towns of Tres Cantos and Riera de Caldes outside Madrid and Barcelona respectively. It thus seems an opportune moment to examine the earlier attempts to decentralise Spain's cities, which largely failed in the implementation stage.
