Scope
Study

On the occasion of the review of the Island Territorial Planning Plan (ITPP) of the island of Lanzarote, since its revisions have been completely surpassed by the island's population and tourist growth, a series of studies were conducted to identify the keys to organizing the Territorial Model. Without a doubt, the fundamental structuring element of the island has been and continues to be the landscape, both in its natural and cultural-ethnographic aspects. In this case, the analysis focused on identifying the growth and occupation models in relation to their character.
