摘要：In the following article we will lay out the urban development guidelines which two municipalities of Gran Canaria have undergone, Gáldar and Guía which, together with Agaete, make up the Northwest sector of the island. The urban expansion took place mainly on the coastal strip of both municipalities, below 300m of altitude above sea level due to the strong demographic increase that took place there at the beginning of the 20 th century as a result of agricultural development, particularly in banana and tomato farming; and stemming from the fact that, from the sixties onwards, and more precisely the eighties, property developers realized that the transformation of rural land into urban could be very profitable. This fact caused an urban expansion in the aforementioned strip by means of the legal norm known as the Urban Development Agreement. With this agreement an abstraction was made of the Subsidiary Planning Regulations and furthermore a great connivance between local powers and property developers took place. All with the aim of warranting the private interests of the latter, over the general welfare of the community, in these municipalities.
