Table 2: Sponsor of Urban Regeneration Projects
Source: Own elaboration

The most striking aspect of analysis is the model of city proposed, which is showed by building
coefficient: All the Urban‐Rail Regeneration Projects designed today in Spain have building
coefficient much smaller than its equivalents in other parts of the world.
The most important Urban Redevelopment Projects in Paris and London at the end of the SXX
(La Defense and Canary Wharf) were designed with much higher coefficients (4 times greater),
The Hudson Yard Project at New York is ten times bigger and the Perth Project is double from
Spanish ones average building coefficients. The urban development planned in these Projects is
always for a high density city model.
It seems that without the idea of reaching the 1980´s European Projects high densities (45m c/
2
m s), nor the current ones in Manhattan (9m c/m s which logically draw a different city model

from the Mediterranean one), it might be necessary to tend in Spain to greater plot ratios,
in order to make more economic sustainable these high expensive but high necessary Urban
Regeneration Projects.
