Granada Land Use

It is progressively establishing neighborhoods that will become increasingly more numerous and far. Granada neighborhoods are characterized by being very different from each other in terms of population and facilities.

Management plan for the territory of the agglomeration of Granada (POTAUG)

The POTAUG is the planning tool for the development and coordination of policies, plans, and proposals for government and public bodies and the activity of individuals within their territory of operation.

It is therefore a document that was drafted and adopted to regulate land development in the metropolitan area of Granada. The paper identifies what areas are protected from Vega and with what degree.

It was finally approved in late 1999, with support from 32 municipalities of all political signs, and since then there has been only a draft amendment, which has allowed the construction of the polygon Marchalendin.

The current situation in the metropolitan area means that large projects must start with local and nonmetropolitan perspective. Such as the development of the Technological Park of Health and the University. The POTAUG was the first metropolitan urban design in Andalucia.

The aim is for the Vega POTAUG to not touch, because Vega is a protected territory and must be maintained. In the past soil has been released from the same lot of land for housing and infrastructure, which is installed in the Science Park.

The urban development of the city has been very strong throughout the 20th century due to continued increase in population from 75,570 inhabitants in 1900 to 244,486 in 2000. This increase came from natural increases and immigration from other localities in the province of Granada.

But the center of Granada is largely a pedestrian city, where the historic city is surrounded by a network of narrow streets. Since the 19th century, and especially part of the 20th century, Granada began to overflow its original perimeter.
