Santander, Future Habitat is the new city model for Santander. It is not an urban plan (PGOU) but a preliminary document, a prior obligatory step for the preparation of the plan. The difference between one type of document and another is fundamental. A PGOU is a legal technical instrument that defines the intensities and uses of the city. A city model is much more than that: it is the document that defines the road map of the city in the coming years – in this case to 2055 – in relation to urban planning, but also to mobility, to the green areas and open spaces in the city, the economic activities, the vitality of the neighborhoods, etc. Thus, the City Model can and should be developed through more instruments than just the PGOU.
