Cáceres. Planificación de los espacios urbanos, participación de agentes sociales e identidad territorial

Abstract

The monumental character of the town of Cáceres and its declaration as patrimony of humanity has outlined an orientation of the town towards the promotion of tourism. These circumstances, together with an urban planning that is conditioned by economic policies and interests, have been the driving forces behind the transformation of the urban spaces, configuring the town that we can envisage at present. However, this structure is also the result of social processes since the social and cultural space is not only affected by material motives, but it is also constituted of the daily activity of human beings.
