Recuperar y rehabilitar el patrimonio industrial urbano. Entre el desamparo institucional y la voracidad urbanística
Abstract
The Spanish urban development model during the second half of the 20th century caused the loss of a large part of architectonic-industrial heritage in cities due to a lack of awareness of its patrimonial value, inadequate protective legislation and the high strategic value of the sites. The result has been the demolition, or mutilation, of several factories and their reuse within the context of land reclassification urban development strategies in Spanish cities during the last third of the 20th century.
