Empty urbanism: the bursting of the Spanish housing bubble
The depth of the Spanish housing crisis manifests itself in the collapse of construction activity and in the amount of housing and land stocks. The geography of the crisis shows its widespread nature, and the intensity of the previous bubble explains spatial differences. Resulting from this collapse are some problematic areas of ‘empty urbanism’. An enormous land bubble, emerging from the peculiar Spanish urban development model, was a key factor in the impacts – caused by the crisis – on the territory and land-use plans. The crisis has demonstrated the unsustainability of this and the urgency of change in the existing land-use plans.
