Viviendas y ciudades. ¡Felicidades. El mundo según China. Discos de Rock. En el primer caso, el carácter esencialmente escrito de las descripciones puede llevar a numerosos errores en el momento de su identificación precisa. Las cartografías y planes tienen también un carácter impreciso; y no establecen con claridad el mosaico geométrico del suelo, conllevando por ello diferencias notables entre unos y otros. For example, la cartografía en la que se apoya el Catastro de la Propiedad del Ministerio de Hacienda no tiene nada que ver con los mapas geográficos de las empresas cartográficas que dan soporte espacial gráfico. Como los mapas y planos que oferta la empresa cartográfica de Canarias, Grafcan.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">El problema es que toda esa información existente suele ser contradictoria y poco precisa. Solares abandonados. Participación ciudadana. Es una constante el forcejeo en el cambio de los límites entre propietarios vecinos que lleva a numerosos pleitos y situaciones conflictivas.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Un informe técnico de carácter urbanístico es así una herramienta esencial a la hora de dilucidar ante terceros el alcance real de las propiedades particulares y públicas.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">El problema del envejecimiento en las sociedades avanzadas, tanto en Europa como en el resto del mundo, se está convirtiendo en un asunto prioritario al que convendría prestarle una mayor atención colectiva. En España, dentro de treinta años el 37% de la población tendrá más de 65 años según estimaciones demográficas realizadas. Esto supone un reto colosal para dotar de servicios adecuados a todo este volumen de personas que van a requerir un cuidado creciente en su desenvolvimiento cotidiano.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">En los últimos tiempos surgen por doquier ofertas de espacios especializados para los colectivos de personas ya retiradas. Son urbanizaciones y edificios destinados a la llamada Tercera Edad. Es decir orientados a aquellos que afrontan ese momento de la retirada del trabajo que habitualmente se había desempeñado a lo largo de su vida laboral habitual.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Hasta ahora la respuesta convencional a las necesidades específicas de este colectivo ha sido su ingreso en centros residenciales en los que se oferta una atención especializada que pretende ser de tipo asistencial. Es una solución que no suele tener en cuenta la voluntad y los deseos de las propias personas afectadas que, generalmente, prefieren permanecer en sus entornos familiares el mayor tiempo posible.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">Solares abandonados. Participación ciudadana, ¡Adiós, La importancia de los linderos, Envejecimiento. Viviendas y ciudades, ¡Felicidades. El mundo según China, Discos de Rock, Illustrator, acaban convirtiendo en un penoso calvario en su estancia en esos lugares.</span><span style="color: #000000;">  </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Beatles 70 years old, topic, se están promocionando grupos de viviendas y urbanizaciones que tratan de conservar una cierta independencia personal a sus usuarios. Con el añadido de poder disfrutar de algunos servicios complementarios, adecuados a las necesidades específicas de ese colectivo humano en crecimiento. Es una alternativa que supone el añadido positivo de la peculiaridad de la vivienda independiente y, con ello, la garantía de una cierta intimidad. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">However, las personas que envejecen pretenden permanecer en sus entornos habituales todo el tiempo que sea posible. Namely, en aquellos en los que ha transcurrido gran parte de su vida adulta. Is, si fuera posible, les gustaría pasar la totalidad de esos años y sus últimos días en su casa de siempre y en el barrio en el que ha transcurrido la mayor parte de su vida adulta.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Participación ciudadana. ¡Adiós 65 La importancia de los linderos. Envejecimiento, a 18% Viviendas y ciudades. ¡Felicidades, El mundo según China, Discos de Rock. Illustrator, The story, con la demencia y la senilidad creciente que impide ser responsable para realizar tareas sencillas.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">Participación ciudadana. ¡Adiós. La importancia de los linderos </span><span style="color: #000000;"> </span><span style="color: #000000;">Envejecimiento, Viviendas y ciudades. ¡Felicidades, pero en la mayor parte de la estructura urbana residencial que se ha acumulado el último siglo en las ciudades es bastante complicado por no decir imposible.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.garciabarba.com/cppa/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/150621_Cocina_Accesible.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-584" title="150621_Cocina_Accesible" src="http://www.garciabarba.com/cppa/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/150621_Cocina_Accesible.jpg" alt="" width="630" height="427" /></a></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Espacio de cocina adaptado para el acceso con silla de ruedas</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thus, hay que considerar la producción masiva de un nuevo tipo de vivienda adaptada específicamente a las necesidades de ese colectivo que superará pronto a un tercio de la población en los distintos países.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Uno de las principales características del envejecimiento es la creciente dificultad para el desplazamiento y el manejo de aparatos y elementos sencillos como interruptores, cocinas, baños etc. Relacionado con lo anterior, una de las amenazas recurrentes para los mayores es el tropiezo y la caída. Un riesgo que primero es una preocupación y que acaba convirtiéndose en una obsesión constante para los usuarios de las viviendas convencionales. Tanto en su acceso hacia y desde el exterior como, también en el interior de los edificios y las propias viviendas. En la percepción de los ancianos, las escaleras pasan a ser obstáculos insalvables y los baños se transforman en ratoneras en las que puede producirse un accidente en cualquier momento. So, el miedo acaba convirtiéndose en una constante para un grupo humano que tiende a desarrollar esa etapa de la vida en soledad, debido a la desaparición natural de parejas y del alejamiento de aquellas otras personas próximas. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">En una etapa más avanzada de ese proceso de envejecimiento, va apareciendo la necesidad de contar con apoyos de todo tipo para mejorar las condiciones de la propia vida. Solares abandonados. Participación ciudadana. ¡Adiós, La importancia de los linderos, Envejecimiento, Viviendas y ciudades; and, finally, ¡Felicidades. Elementos de apoyo que suponen unos requerimientos dimensionales y de disposición específicos que normalmente no son tenidos en cuenta en el diseño arquitectónico.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Discos de Rock. Solares abandonados, Participación ciudadana. ¡Adiós; La importancia de los linderos. In this sense, Envejecimiento, eliminando desniveles y estableciendo las dimensiones suficientes para lograr el acceso en silla de ruedas y las transferencias personales hacia los aparatos con comodidad.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">¡Felicidades, El mundo según China. Hasta llegar a considerar las camas individuales como el único espacio seguro.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.garciabarba.com/cppa/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/150621_Cama_Dependiente.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-585" title="150621_Cama_Dependiente" src="http://www.garciabarba.com/cppa/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/150621_Cama_Dependiente.jpg" alt="" width="630" height="466" /></a></span></span></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">¡Adiós</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">La importancia de los linderos. Envejecimiento. Viviendas y ciudades, para las que es preciso contar con superficies anexas y huecos de paso suficiente en los espacios residenciales.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Over the years, El mundo según China. Ello significa la oferta de servicios continuados para facilitar tareas que fueron sencillas en el pasado. Labores tales como el aseo cotidiano, la elaboración de comidas y el mantenimiento personal. son actividades para las que será necesario contar con estrategias apropiadas. tanto al objeto de diseñar espacios y servicios adecuados, en las viviendas como la oferta empresarial de soporte especializado. Desde un punto de vista del usuario, lo ideal sería que todo ello pudiera ofertarse desde la proximidad a los lugares en los que se reside.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Un elemento asistencial de apoyo fundamental es la colaboración en las tareas domésticas. In this case, es preciso contar con personal que ofrezca ayuda para tareas habituales como la limpieza de los espacios y utensilios, el aseo personal, así como el mantenimiento general de las viviendas. Otra cuestión importante es la necesidad de un acceso a servicios de consulta médica en la propia casa. La aparición de patologías crónicas relacionadas con la edad -como la diabetes, la hipertensión, etc.- hacen que se requiera de una monitorización constante.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.garciabarba.com/cppa/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/150621_MSpilutini_HerzogMeuron_RehabBasel_INT03.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-586" title="150621_MSpilutini_Herzog&amp;Meuron_RehabBasel_INT03" src="http://www.garciabarba.com/cppa/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/150621_MSpilutini_HerzogMeuron_RehabBasel_INT03.jpg" alt="" width="630" height="489" /></a></span></span></span></span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Espacio de gimnasio adaptado a la rehabilitación de personas dependientes. Centro Rehab Basel de Herzog&amp;DeMeuron, 2001. Photos: M. Spilutini</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">La asistencia médica domiciliaria, que era habitual hasta hace pocos años, ha ido siendo sustituida progresivamente por los consultorios alejados de los lugares de residencia. Thus, Solares abandonados, above all, Participación ciudadana, ¡Adiós, etc.. La importancia de los linderos, Envejecimiento, la proximidad de los servicios de apoyo orientados hacia ellas es un valor esencial.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">¡Felicidades. El mundo según China, thus, Discos de Rock. Illustrator, tanto en los propios edificios como en los centros asistenciales de apoyo de proximidad.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial;">También es conveniente considerar las posibles mejoras orientadas de las condiciones de relación y socialización colectiva. Desde esta perspectiva, habría que proceder a la reconsideración global del espacio público para el colectivo envejecido. Y en ello, elementos habituales, tales como bancos, aceras y cruces de calles</span><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial;"> deben replantearse progresiva y constantemente mediante su estudio y corrección. Son espacios de los que debe procurarse su ampliación y la eliminación de obstáculos innecesarios que colonizan lo que es colectivo. Especialmente en calles, plazas y parques.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.garciabarba.com/cppa/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/150620_PlatUrbana_PersMayores_Transporte.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-587" title="150620_PlatUrbana_PersMayores_Transporte" src="http://www.garciabarba.com/cppa/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/150620_PlatUrbana_PersMayores_Transporte.jpg" alt="" width="630" height="580" /></a></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">El difícil acceso de los mayores al transporte público</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Finally, la fácil y adecuada accesibilidad al transporte público es una condición muy importante para un colectivo que ha abandonado sus vehículos privados por razones obvias. Hoy por hoy, los vehículos destinados al transporte, las paradas para el intercambio y los recorridos de acceso suelen carecer, por lo general, de condiciones lo suficientemente adecuada para dar un buen servicio al colectivo de personas mayores.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Todo lo expuesto, nos debería hacer reflexionar con el objetivo de destinar mayores esfuerzos y recursos para mejorar las condiciones de vida de un colectivo que va a convertirse en el más numeroso en los próximos años.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Last 27 June 2013 was published in the Official Gazette of Law 8/2013, of 26 June, Rehabilitation, regeneration and urban renewal, in which provides a policy framework to enable the conversion and recovery of the construction sector, and promote quality, sustainability and competitiveness, Thus in the building, como en el uso sostenible del suelo.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The IEE is a conservation report, accessibility and energy efficiency (CCE) and is applicable to every building originally intended for collective housing. In the case of the municipalities that are in possession of their own ordinances technical inspection of buildings (ITE) be included within the IEE in paragraph conservation and will be the equivalent document for compliance with this requisito.Actualmente in Tenerife, Only the municipalities of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and La Laguna have drafted these ordinances, but is expected before 2015 at least all municipalities with more than 25000 inhabitants the vigor.Existe enact and important financial statement statewide to subsidize this type of action. Under Chapter V of Royal Decree 233/2013, of 5 April, governing the State Housing Plan 2013-2016 may apply for the grant for the improvement and maintenance of buildings, all who:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">-         Estén finalizados antes de 1981<br />

Without the Building Assessment Report is not possible to access these grants. And once obtained will also include all administrative and technical documents asociados.Por so although not required to be in possession of the IEE or ITE until the end of 2015, es interesante ir realizando los informes cuanto antes para tener la posibilidad  de acceder a estas subvenciones.</p>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6HKoDHzu5-4/T61n89LSLXI/AAAAAAAAF4g/CPHLsumJeXs/s1600/050929_FGBImag_Santiago_04.JPG"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6HKoDHzu5-4/T61n89LSLXI/AAAAAAAAF4g/CPHLsumJeXs/s640/050929_FGBImag_Santiago_04.JPG" alt="" width="522" height="640" border="0" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><br />
</strong><span style="font-size: medium;">He had been repeatedly in Santiago de Compostela. He had visited the spectacular and grandiose always Obradoiro Square. Pero nunca había hecho la visita de las Cubiertas de la Catedral.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
<span id="more-8"></span>The visit was novel. It was only recently that could be performed, because until a few years ago could only access covers which estudiasen Theology, the visit was without a guide, and, also, debido a lo peligroso de la misma había que firmar un documento en el que el visitante se hacía responsable en caso de producirse algún accidente.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once Gelmírez got to the Palace a few minutes we were inside watching. It seemed we were in the High Middle Ages. Not for nothing more than a millennium that the stones had been placed at that location. Las paredes tenían musgo y daba la impresión que en cualquier momento aparecerían murciélagos.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And ... we started the beautiful adventure. While it certainly lasts. The climb was to raise 103 echelons. Algunos tuvimos que hacer varios descansos porque cincuenta metros de altura nos separaban del inicio de la ascensión.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you reach the end of the routed, I could see one of the most spectacular views you've seen throughout my life, although weather increased hardness .... It seemed that the nature or bruixas not want our eyes admire such beauty. The umbrella made their appearance and the wind kicked. The position was hard: on the one hand, clear explanations, cultured and quiet of our guide, obviously, must be used to make the visit in similar conditions on many occasions; other, the height at which we were and what resbalizado of exterior stairs that were in tension was; a dangerous slip and fall could occur at any time; rain and strong wind obviously did nothing but worsen the situation. We think take shelter until the weather abated ...</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Zdt_SM4xWI8/T61oEF7-HEI/AAAAAAAAF4o/yOwGfm5FhQQ/s1600/050929_FGBImag_Santiago_02.JPG"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Zdt_SM4xWI8/T61oEF7-HEI/AAAAAAAAF4o/yOwGfm5FhQQ/s640/050929_FGBImag_Santiago_02.JPG" alt="" width="640" height="576" border="0" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;">View covers covers the city of Santiago from the Cathedral</span></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uqw50R_h1h8/T61owmrDB6I/AAAAAAAAF5A/6PJplGP2Ikk/s1600/120508_JPedreira_cubiertas_de_la_catedral2S.jpg"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uqw50R_h1h8/T61owmrDB6I/AAAAAAAAF5A/6PJplGP2Ikk/s400/120508_JPedreira_cubiertas_de_la_catedral2S.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="268" border="0" /></span></a></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But the scenery was so beautiful that we watched our eyes were blinded. A breathtaking landscape. Only. Absorbent. We were shocked at such beauty. The tour on the heights of the Cathedral of Santiago can not leave anyone indifferent. The city of Compostela was developed from the construction of the Cathedral. Holy City together with Rome and Jerusalem attracts the Galician capital at any time of year thousands of pilgrims from around the world. From the top you see the city clearly. Una normativa urbana del siglo XVIII prohíbe edificaciones superiores a la altura de la Catedral.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The vision of the city was perfect. The sky was gray and leaden rain even more intense. But we wanted to continue watching unsurpassed beauty. Head, the view of the whole city. Left, the very extensive Nuns Convent-today 28-; behind, the big clock. Beyond, San Martín Palace, which also houses the Major Seminary of Santiago Diocesan Historical Archive; finally, under one of the apse continued explanations, ya a resguardo de la lluvia .</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's time to lose. Y como en la subida resonaban armoniosos los cánticos de dentro de la Catedral.</span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kYRJ3RpwojM/T61o-q1y3dI/AAAAAAAAF5I/RdKtJCI1wqo/s1600/050929_FGBImag_Santiago_05.JPG"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kYRJ3RpwojM/T61o-q1y3dI/AAAAAAAAF5I/RdKtJCI1wqo/s640/050929_FGBImag_Santiago_05.JPG" alt="" width="552" height="640" border="0" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ultimately, the next time you go to Compostela-well after performing all or part of the Pilgrim, simply visiting the- not stop going to the decks of the Cathedral. disappoint them not. Contemplate something new, and, If further, el tiempo acompaña la felicidad será total –aunque muchos opinan que Santiago de Compostela se aprecia en su estado más puro con frío y lluvia que con sol.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is worth contemplating the beautiful Galician city from the decks of the Cathedral. Sin duda.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jesus Pedreira Lodestone Bachelor of Law, Sociology and History</span></div>
</div>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The day was typically de Compostela. Rain, cold wind and some. We arrived at the appointed time to Gelmírez Palace - in honor of the first Archbishop of Santiago, Diego Gelmírez (1059-1139) and promoter of the Cathedral-, next to the Cathedral of Santiago, actual sede Arzobispal.</span></p>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Y6YZb5XZwOk/T09vpqvhChI/AAAAAAAAAUU/xxKjIofE1y0/s1600/arton1958.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Y6YZb5XZwOk/T09vpqvhChI/AAAAAAAAAUU/xxKjIofE1y0/s800/arton1958.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" border="0" /></a></div>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Analyzing the set of actors involved in the process of city building, the citizen's role should be highlighted, from initial planning process of the municipal assembly to implementation through the development and construction. The citizen must be present in all phases of the process ensuring that the interpretation of reality in developing the overall management plan is the best possible. Thus also be present managing the consequences of its own citizens chosen, aceptando los derechos o deberes que resulten de dicha ordenación.</span></p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-12"></span>The participation of citizens in the planning of the city and particularly in the development of urban planning is essential to define the land uses, an increasingly scarce upon our island status, sometido cada vez más a mayores tensiones.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Recent controversies arising in Canary urban documents such as General Plans of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Tacoronte, have generated massive opposition to ratification putting the planning and land use as a hot topic of discussion in the islands. With these controversial public participation in urban planning in the government of the territory, has acquired in recent years a renewed interest. It has generated the need for urban planning documents more transparent and democratic, demandando una mayor contribución de la opinión ciudadana en la ordenación final de los municipios.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-InJagqijyZ8/T09puOdl9hI/AAAAAAAAAT8/sVSen7C4VM4/s1600/2.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-InJagqijyZ8/T09puOdl9hI/AAAAAAAAAT8/sVSen7C4VM4/s800/2.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="211" border="0" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><em>Manifestaciones en contra de los Planes Generales de Tacoronte y Santa Cruz de Tenerife.</em></span></div>
<p>In the practice of drafting municipal planning, disclosure periods and citizen participation made conform to those required in the regulatory framework applicable on spatial planning and urbanism, enumerados en las distintas fases de aprobación y tramitación estipuladas legalmente.</p>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Public Information These processes regulated under the laws of current application, and made after the approval of each of the phases mentioned, are usually insufficient, recent controversies mentioned views. Is necessary to develop new methods of public participation, that promote the role of citizens in the decision-making of urban planning, affecting not only the &#8220;conditions&#8221; over private interests, but also on issues of debate on large urban development strategies, asuntos que normalmente motivan a priori bastante menos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">As an example of citizen participation complementary method not covered by current legislation, include the procedure carried out in the drafting of the new General Plan de La Laguna, totally unusual and innovative with regard to practice. The Municipal Corporation had decided from the outset to support massively public debate on the future territorial, giving the word and, almost, la decisión final a los ciudadanos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">It is very interesting the participatory process driven from the City Council, since the channels established contact with the population, even before starting the drafting of the usual process of advance planning. It was established after a public consultation which allowed direct probing which could be the real concerns and needs of each neighborhood or town, a partir de un documento inicial de diagnóstico urbanístico y otro de criterios y objetivos de ordenación.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pZ5Sld-Bm5U/T09s7w5IoqI/AAAAAAAAAUM/wKd0gbdQ1Ws/s1600/mejor_entre_todos.png"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pZ5Sld-Bm5U/T09s7w5IoqI/AAAAAAAAAUM/wKd0gbdQ1Ws/s800/mejor_entre_todos.png" alt="" width="400" height="80" border="0" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>Anagrama del nuevo PGO de La Laguna.</em><em></em></span></div>
<p>The results of this participation helped identify and clarify the structural issues and raise the propositional alternatives regarding each. The topics selected were those that, according to the provisions of the legislation, tenían un carácter estructurante.</p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Thus, Advancement is presented to the public is clear and predominantly oriented towards participation, encouraging citizens to manifest their preferences debated and possible alternatives (within the proper limits of the criteria and objectives) to define the various components of future urban and regional model township. Si bien, in strict legal terms, Advancement is not binding, the commitment of the government team, explicitly stated, was that the results of public participation would become the basic guidelines from which to develop the detailed planning for the next step in the formulation of the Plan (which concludes with the initial approval document). With these premises, opened the mandatory public comment period, while the document available to the public in five offices open to the public for the purpose and on the Internet; also, se celebraron dieciocho reuniones explicativas en otros tantos centros ciudadanos del municipio.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">From the systematization, quantification and analysis of citizens expressed preferences regarding each of the structural issues presented in the Advancement, were chosen management alternatives for defining the territorial model and subsequent detailed planning of the next phase of Initial Approval, actualmente en periodo de elaboración.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Citizenship is not accustomed to debate on major urban development strategies and certainly these issues motivate a priori much less than the &#8220;conditions&#8221; over private interests. Thus, in different performances in disclosure, was stressed that participation was required as the population over &#8220;citizens&#8221; that &#8220;proprietary&#8221;, explaining the difference between now asking for suggestions and allegations that might arise in the public information period after initial approval. But the result was very satisfactory, observando una gran preocupación de la ciudadanía por temas de interés general del propio municipio.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><em><br />
</em></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rEmgqqoOLhE/T09qLXwDT3I/AAAAAAAAAUE/n2zEyS3CC20/s1600/1.jpg"><em><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rEmgqqoOLhE/T09qLXwDT3I/AAAAAAAAAUE/n2zEyS3CC20/s800/1.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="252" border="0" /></em></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;"><em>Información pública de Planes Generales de Ordenación.</em> </div>
<p>&amp;nbsp;</p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">This innovative procedure has caused so any Canary municipalities currently require the review of their urban, have chosen this method of non-binding public consultation, el cual ayuda en la obtención de un planeamiento más democrático y transparente.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Given the complexity of the citizen can make to the interpretation and understanding of urban planning documents for their specific language, es conveniente una adecuada asistencia por parte de equipos técnicos especializados para facilitar la contribución del ciudadano a la planificación urbana y territorial.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">That is why <strong>CPPA</strong>, <strong>Planning Consultants, Landscape and Architecture</strong>, from its proven experience in drafting urban planning, les ofrece su total disponibilidad dando asesoramiento a sus peticiones y/o sugerencias en los procesos de información pública del planeamiento en fase de redacción y tramitación.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I read today on the blog of a friend <a href="http://desconciertos3.blogspot.com/2011/12/urbanismo-y-propiedades-inmobiliarias.html">a comment</a> sobre la insostenible situación que viven los bancos en relación a la pesada carga que supone la herencia dejada por la disparatada avalancha inmobiliaria que se ha producido en este país en los últimos diez años.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span id="more-20"></span>Many have considered the land rezoning Philosopher's Stone as the last, the prodigy that many alchemists sought diligently throughout the Middle Ages: a mechanism to transmute base metals into gold. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The reality is that the banks have finished accumulating vast areas of land around cities and on the Spanish coast in the idea of ​​getting his requalification and thereby obtain a surplus. That has worked regularly in Spain, for more than 70 years from the postwar, has been disrupted for the first time and suddenly the lands are not worth virtually nothing. This fact has become a dark pit full credit industry generated about preventing the economy from here lift his head. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lo sorprendente es que sesudos banqueros y economistas han otorgado préstamos durante años a las más disparatadas inversiones y negocios estúpidos sin que hayan tenido que asumir ninguna responsabilidad.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I saw this picture of the book entitled <em>Window and ladder</em> Argentine artist <a href="http://www.leandroerlich.com.ar/works.php?id=42">Leandro Erlich</a> and I found the perfect metaphor for what has happened. Humans usually build chimeras in the air that suddenly seem solid and are in an impossible situation by unsustainable. Como los activos inmobiliarios que figuran en los balances de los bancos españoles y sobre los que sus responsables no quieren reconocer la extrema perdida del valor que les habían asignado ingenuamente.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">On the other hand, we can not individually or collectively find an adequate response to these challenges as huge. The only attitude that unites us is a constant demand answers without solutions glimpse. Meanwhile, and what is more serious, to those on foot we will gradually stealing the ability to influence, entangled by supposed leaders who are also subject to powers whose understanding eludes them. </span></span></div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Driven by this curiosity, I made a few simple inquiries on current demographic conditions of our planet. I extract some data: Just over a third of the world population, or 2.500 million, accumulates in only two countries: China and India. And there, in the first, in an area of ​​few hundred kilometers (en 30 cities, around Shanghai) live 100 millones de personas. Likewise, in the Indian subcontinent live another hundred million more, along a strip that runs parallel to the Himalayas and running from Lahore in Pakistan to Dhaka in Bangladesh. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Perforce, those areas and countries of the world are those that are designed to powerfully influence our destinies in the future. What happens there will shape our expectations of human development and quality of life. One such extreme human density, located in environments as concrete, will polarize the carrying capacity of the globe in its entirety. And, following Malthus, la lucha por los menguantes recursos disponibles va a intensificarse despiadadamente en detrimento de los más débiles.</span></span></div>

Recientemente he tenido la oportunidad de visitar Galicia y un elemento característico de esta región y que me gustaría destacar es el Hórreo Gallego.</p>
<p><span id="more-29"></span>It is a type of construction used to protect fruits mainly corn harvest. The Granary is stored, dry and preserves the grain, that requires good ventilation, insulation and moisture protection, además de un adecuado sistema de defensa contra insectos y roedores.<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Qt0x7uiF6zc/Tp_U4v-eZhI/AAAAAAAAAWc/Ad51ilCSJTU/s1600/2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665480927671641618" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 254px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 640px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Qt0x7uiF6zc/Tp_U4v-eZhI/AAAAAAAAAWc/Ad51ilCSJTU/s400/2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> The Galician granaries are rectangular and are made of stone, a diferencia de los asturianos son de planta cuadrada.<br />
Its origin is not clear, one hypothesis is that it started with the Roman Empire, another theory is that it comes from Celtic times and was later enhanced with important adaptations by Romans, es muy probable que los pilares sean la contribución romana.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iaYUb8oHv4I/Tp_R5go1j3I/AAAAAAAAAV4/9H4FUdEhDxQ/s1600/3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665477642199338866" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 411px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 640px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iaYUb8oHv4I/Tp_R5go1j3I/AAAAAAAAAV4/9H4FUdEhDxQ/s800/3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />
The Granary is raised from the ground by pillars for better aeration, these are topped by rounded plates to prevent access to rodents barn. Las columnas son monolíticas y tienen formas variables tendentes siempre a la simplicidad geométrica.</p>
<p>The camera is the room in which grain is stored, usually has a rectangular plan and height, variable width and length. The camera length between 1,30 and 1,50 meters, in order that the pins are not too far from the wall. The camera consists of the following parts: lower beams grades calls or Pontóns, the floorboards on them, some columns, padieiras and the pinches are closing elements or walls, of different materials and with numerous vents, upper beams calls soleiras, and coverage elements are usually gabled. Las paredes permiten la ventilación por todos los costados y la estructura se protege de la lluvia con un tejado de teja a dos aguas que se adorna en los dos extremos con cruces y otras formas en piedra.</p>
<div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8JzWy1vDxGU/Tp_R1pz7vYI/AAAAAAAAAVs/jxZ7ubM5Q80/s1600/4torreo.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665477575942323586" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 368px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 640px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8JzWy1vDxGU/Tp_R1pz7vYI/AAAAAAAAAVs/jxZ7ubM5Q80/s800/4torreo.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></div>
<p>As part of the composition of the granary there are a number of elements that have no practical, are ornaments and express the concept that has the citizen of his relationship with the crop and grain guard, from an anthropological perspective and cultural. On the roof is easy to find a wide range of terminal elements with a sense halfway between the decorative and the functional,crossings, windbreaks, remates piramidales etc.</p>

<a href="http://vimeo.com/29401217">Cycling For Everyone</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/dutchcycling">Dutch Cycling Embassy</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Last 22 September is celebrated World Day Without Cars in which we saw the various initiatives carried out in various cities. El objeto principal de las mismas es incentivar a los ciudadanos a dejar este medio de transporte por un día y probar nuevas formas de desplazamiento. Uno de estos medios de transporte alternativos es la bicicleta.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-31"></span>If there is a quintessential country where the bicycle as transportation reaches such a high degree of popularity, is Holland. The cycling in this country is a cultural issue mainly by orographic conditions of a territory completely flat making it perfect transport medium. Besides being economical, not pollute, not congested city and carries no parking problems as with private motor vehicles. Con el detrimento del automóvil las ciudades mejoran su paisaje urbano y recualifican su espacio público para el peatón.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Already in the 50 proliferated the massive use of the bicycle, to go any destination, until the proliferation of motor vehicles in the years 60 bicycle traffic decreases evidently. The bicycle-transit space is reduced by increasing the statistics of accidents and even deaths of cyclists. With the oil crisis of the years 70 began a defense of this transport through popular initiatives to make everyday use of the bicycle was a viable and safe option. Con los años se ha convertido en un medio de transporte básico y cotidiano para los holandeses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">The Dutch government have adapted their infrastructure and cities to the priority use of the bicycle with the creation of modern special parking nodal exchangers linked to other transport vehicles, efficient bike rental networks and fundamentally thousands of kilometers of cycle routes. A part of this infrastructure, se invierte notablemente en la educación vial para lograr que siga siendo un medio de transporte seguro incluso para los niños.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">With this cycling culture and the experience gained in decades to promote this mode of transport is born <a href="http://dutchcycling.nl/">The Dutch Cycling Embassy</a>, una organización destinada a ayudar a otros países y asociaciones en la eliminación de la dependencia de los vehículos motorizados.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">In the following video put online by the organization, traces the evolution of this mode of transport in the Netherlands. A pesar de estar en inglés resulta bastante instructivo.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Namaste Tower. Bombay. Atkins Design Studio, 2009</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">The strong economic development process unleashed in the Indian subcontinent is producing a new generation of tall buildings spectacular project. Participation in the design of large consulting firms specializing in building design is highlighted. Something happens in the case of the city of Bombay, in which the towers are projected Namaste and Wadala, entre otras muchas iniciativas grandilocuentes.</span></span></div>
<div align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br />
</span><span id="more-36"></span>The professional world has spent years turning our gaze to some places and powerful countries that have initiated efforts in building new towns and amazing architectural and engineering samples. This is the case of the Persian Gulf and the coast of China. However, es muy destacable el empuje que están adquiriendo en este campo otros lugares del mundo como ocurre en las principales regiones de la India.</span></div>
<div align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Now, single 300 million Indians live in cities. According to a McKinsey report, to 2030, many others have been incorporated into the development of the main cities of India. In twenty years these giant-agglomerations currently existing there- well have doubled their size. Public and private actions that are needed to meet this enormous urban development are immeasurable. Thus, authorities of various Indian states are considering and scheduling alternatives to meet the strong demand for residential. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZPN2TxZCZ3s/Tl_EhAzwQVI/AAAAAAAAFCA/gpLIzASG5Gw/s640/110823-Mumbai-NamasteTower-02.jpg" alt="" width="438" height="640" border="0" /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> Namaste Tower. Sections axonometric</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">One of those possibilities that are very likely the real estate companies are the unique buildings and skyscrapers towers. Among these initiatives is the so-called <a href="http://www.beautifullife.info/urban-design/namaste-tower-in-mumbai/"><em>Namaste Tower</em></a> trying to become an icon that characterizes the vibrant urban landscape of the city known as the Gateway of India. Designed by British engineering <em><a href="http://www.atkinsdesign.com/html/">Atkins Design Studio</a></em> is presented as a giant tongue gesture that recalls the joining of hands so characteristic of the greeting of the people of that country. </span></span></div>
<div align="justify"> </div>
<div align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">According to <a href="http://www.worldbuildingsdirectory.com/project.cfm?id=2878">promotion </a>conducted for the World Architecture Festival 2010, their 62 plants will be used for a shopping center, offices, homes and a luxury hotel (W Hotels has indicated that it expected to open in 2015) and its silhouette highlighted in the peninsula of Bombay from a distance greater than 40 kms. In the last floor will have a restaurant covered with a vaulted great height. El edificio se divide en dos alas unidas por un espacio central destinado al acceso y las comunicaciones verticales.</span></div>
<div align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The most outstanding feature of the project is the design of its facade inspired by traditional decorations <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehndi">Mehndi</a></em>, with which women are drawn circular designs on hands and feet using henna pigment. Estos gráficos se van a emplear como filtros para tamizar la intensa luz y el exceso de insolación de las fachadas.</span></div>

<div align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">To achieve the award of the order projective, Hong Kong team, <em><a href="http://www.jameslawcybertecture.com/">Cybertecture</a></em>, led by architect James Law, pose a giant structure shaped corkscrew was finally discarded. In his idea, el edificio se destinaría a varios hoteles y numerosos apartamentos de lujo alrededor de una columna central que albergaría los circuitos de instalaciones necesarios y los ascensores de alta velocidad necesarios para el funcionamiento del conjunto.</span></div>
<div align="justify"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">As reported <em><a href="http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2010-05-25/news/27597150_1_lodha-group-iconic-tower-abhishek-lodha">India Economic Times</a></em>, the initial idea has had to cut, due to the international financial drought and widespread housing bust situation in many parts of the world. The Indian real estate <em><a href="http://www.lodhagroup.com/home.php">Lodha Group</a></em> seems to have finally obtained permits for the construction of a reduced version of the originally proposed, denominada Lodha Crown.</span></span></div>
<div align="justify"> </div>
<div align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Although today all bets big estate-as presented here- are green, ecological, bioclimatic and sustainable, the reality is that the projective approach contradicts all advertising claims. As a rule, las torres de gran altura representan un diseño arquitectónico que implica un gasto energético desaforado que no podrá mantenerse a largo plazo.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">In a country like the Indian, Very great deprivation and social inequalities, course is a new housing boom that accentuates the planetary ecological disaster. To build this building not only displace large masses of shanty but also will enhance the widespread use of those materials that require greater energy expenditure required for its production. Is the case of the usual glass, steel, aluminum, etc.. who so generously used in conventional housing developments </span></span></div>

<div align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Above all, spectacular proposals such as those outlined, the main problem is that ecological issues will be critical to the preservation of environmental balance are not taken into account for your design. In these cases, analysis have not been raised, even briefly, passive strategies to counteract the adverse weather conditions and the high incidence of the sun that characterizes this part of the planet. Has primacy only the great condition of the proposal, la propaganda sobre la eficiencia.</span></div>
<div align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">India is a country where cities have large gaps and many residents suffer daily the inherent difficulties in obtaining quality drinking water, Power supply conditions, adequate sanitation and other essential services. A public transport as existing road networks are also collapsed in many places. In a parallel way, economically solvent Indian elites have adopted with relish performing very many <em><a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbanización_cerrada">Gated comunities</a></em>. A new form of urbanization for the middle classes as solvents that conform walled and guarded residential areas and are counterbalanced exclusionary segregation population. These new communities are popping up massively in numerous backwaters of the planet, in imitation of what happened in the United States where they practice for decades. The vertical version of these ways of occupying territory skyscrapers are obviously, constructions involving a high safety for residents His restricted access areas and ease for armoring in contact with the ground made possible very effective ways of monitoring and surveillance. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Proposal for the Museum of Modern Art in Calcutta. Duke&amp;deMeuron </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But residential real estate bets are just the most visible part of a huge effort to generate economic activity in India. Also planned many new cities and areas of development. This is the case of so-called </span><a href="http://delhimumbaiindustrialcorridor.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, a project of the central government raised the generation of a strip of territory that will cross six states along 1500 kms, highly equipped and efficiently served by rail and motorway network high capacity. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The last thing is that I have started to land there the biggest names in international architecture, as Herzog&amp;deMeuron who have won the commission to build the Museum of Modern Art in Calcutta or <a href="http://littledesignbook.in/2011/07/modernity-for-kolkata-kmoma/">Kolkata MOMA</a>.</span></div>
