This book focusses on the developing role that the city currently plays in dealing with the effects of climate change and the instruments that can be utilised to make them truly green. Cities are at the centre of European directives aimed at tackling climate change, representing a key part of the European Green Deal and the National Recovery and Resilience Plans. As such, they provide valuable case studies for other countries grappling with how to address sustainability issues. This book is divided into three parts, with the first analysing Green urban planning and local governments in the European framework. The second examines various thematic aspects relating to this intersection, looking...
In this paper, we try to define 'national traditions' in Spanish Public Law by reviewing Spanish Constitutional History, specially its evolution along the 20th century (Republic, francoism, democratization in the 70s and the EU accession). Using some criteria defined by scholars like Le Sueur, Gonod, Edelstam or Schmidt-Aßmann, this paper characterizes Spanish Public Law as rather authoritarian, even though Spanish Constitution of 1978 and the fact of being a Member of the European Union since 1986. The idea that an "administrative authority" should be in charge of public affairs, and thus enjoying a very large room of manoever, is deeply rooted in the general mood of Spanish administrative legal order and citizens. This feature explains some other "traditions" of our Public Law, such as its capacity to formally change and evolve... as long as the elites (administrative, political, economical and social ones) in charge accept this evolution.

This book analyses the economic consequences of the regional government of Catalonia's challenge to democracy and the rule of law in Spain. This process, started in 2010, culminated in a coup d'état in the autumn of 2017. The book has three parts. First: The circumstances behind the challenge: economic structure, social and political aspects. Second: The economic impacts of the resulting huge political instability and social polarisation, and the downturn in GDP, investment, competitiveness, Barcelona's appeal, and flight of companies and banks to Madrid. Third: Independence would mean collapse of trade with the rest of Spain and the EU, expulsion from the eurozone, fall of GDP, plummeting tax revenue, soaring unemployment and, finally, conversion of this hypothetical new Catalonia into a failed, vassal and totalitarian state. This book is destined to be the foremost work of reference on the consequences of the separatist threat to Spain, including Catalonia's current decline.
This book adds a critical perspective to the legal dialogue on the regulation of ‘smart urban mobility’. Mobility is one of the most visible sub-domains of the ‘smart city’, which has become shorthand for technological advances that influence how cities are structured, public services are fashioned, and citizens coexist. In the urban context, mobility has come under pressure due to a variety of different forces, such as the implementation of new business models (e.g. car and bicycle sharing), the proliferation of alternative methods of transportation (e.g. electric scooters), the emergence of new market players and stakeholders (e.g. internet and information technology companies), an...
