ABASCAL, Eunice    BILBAO, Carlos. From the sectorial interventions to the city-region: the Bilbao Biscay Next Plan - processes, advances and challenges. []. , 14, pp.5-46. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2018.14.001.

The Bilbao Biscay Next Plan, or Bilbao 45, for municipalities in the metropolitan region of Bilbao and others, as far as 45 minutes from the capital city of Bizkaia, considered a key to intelligent specialization, is a multi-scale proposal and a Strategic Plan for urban and regional development articulated to Strategic Urban Projects. The methodological, conceptual and practical evolution of Bilbao's urban recovery from 2001 to 2017 reveals a quest to overcome the vision of Urban Projects as a sector intervention, towards multiscalar and polycentric interventions, integrating urban projects and socioeconomic planning and territorial. The article sets out the reasons and characteristics of the Plan, presents its objectives and methods, and indicates potentialities and weaknesses, identifying implementation challenges, despite the polycentric and reticular conceptions that motivate it.
