The expansive development cycle through Spanish cities have gone in last decades has its origin in the period of time between final seventies and early eighties, concurrently with political, economic and social important changes, and in urban discipline too. This research analyses that period through the case of Valladolid, comparing the city then existing to the spatial proposals from the Master Plan 1984. This plan proposed a new urban model oriented towards a radial-concentric expansion that has marked the city development until today and that was built on the analysis of the growth and transformation of Valladolid in the previous decades. This transformation was based on the addition of fragmentary actions and the social segregation, in default of an effective and inclusive, global urban model.
