La protección de las construcciones de una huerta urbana en transformación: el catálogo de construcciones en suelo no urbano del municipio de Lleida

Abstract

The consideration of the aspects that deserve special protection by the public administration has been changing over time. Progressively it has change from an ancient and monumental idea to a much broader view. This change has arrived to the urban legislation in recent years. The text presented reflects on this fact by analysing the academic work done for the development of the "Catalogue of constructions in undeveloped land in the municipality of Lleida". This document will be part of the review of the Urban Plan of the city. The paper describes the study conducted for the proposed Catalogue. We will start by a presentation of the general elements that set the planning regulations of Catalonia. Then we present the criteria set for the buildings that should be preserved. Finally, we present the main features of the approximately 150 buildings for which conservation is proposed as significant elements of a space that preserves more than 800 years of human presence.
