Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for taking the subject of Urban Law, but it is advisable to have passed the subjects of Administrative Law I, II and III.
The subject is taught in Catalan.
Objectives and Contextualisation
The objective of the subject is to know the use that can be given to the ground from the point of view of the urbanization and the construction. During the last decades, an expansive urbanism has been used, which has not taken into account the preservation of natural resources. but the ground is a scarce resource, which can not be reproduced, so you have to be very careful about the destiny we give you. For this reason, a concept has arisen, that of "sustainable urban development" that attempts to combine the real needs of population and industrial growth with the protection of natural resources, in order to preserve the quality of life of our generation and of the future generations Likewise, this orientation means that not so much emphasis is placed on urban growth, but on its recovery, through urban regeneration policies.
We will analyze the origins of urban planning and the different phases that must be carried out to build a new city or to regenerate it, and we will also focus attention on a problem intimately linked to urban planning policies: the relationship between constitutional law to a decent and adequate housing and the mechanisms to make it effective.
