La regulación de las capitales regionales y su trascendencia a nivel territorial

Abstract

This article analyses the legal significance of the condition of being a capital of the Spanish Autonomous Communities and the existence of the relationship between this condition and the singularities of the set of rules regarding town planning. The conclusions show that the legal condition of being a capital is not a legal phenomenon with a town planning relevance and, therefore, a capital does not have a particular set of rules in that regard. Beyond the particular laws for capitals and only with some exceptions, the singularities do not come from the existence of a special legal regime. These singularities only exist in the application of general legislation to particular cases.
