During the crisis of 2008, among the advanced and leftist thinkers of the city spread the motto: the future of the city are the neighborhoods, we have to focus the city on the interior. Until then, the construction sector lived in front of the frenzy, in which the new neighborhoods were drawn and built without limits at a fast speed, the rehabilitation and reconstruction of other places of the forgotten city was requested. The crisis ruined many builders and architectural offices, while bringing with it a clear empowerment to the architectural discipline, when the crazy time of creating new buildings and neighborhoods had been exhausted forever, and less badly. The re-adaptation exercise marked the threshold of arrival of a rational construction, together with a more weighted gain of the constructors. The turnaround for urban rehabilitation took place then.

The implementation of the city towards the interior and the revitalization of the building park meant the drafting of a restoration plan for some neighbourhoods, but above all it has been the preparation of a candy for the centres of the cities: a constructive, tourism-oriented exploitation. The construction of new buildings has been limited to the benefit of rehabilitation, but the formula has failed in its objective, since it has thought about the buildings of the city, but looking at other occupants of the city, expelling the premises.

At a time when the tourist phenomenon is still alive, major city news continues inside, in a new direction of the city’s “ham”: railways and railway stations. The railway is an urban distribution infrastructure that occupies part of the urban land, such as Durango, Deba, Zarautz, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Bilbao, Donostia-San Sebastián, etc. The areas liberated by the railways will be the most prestigious urban operations of the cities of the future, becoming the last place of gold in the age of the incorporation of the cities into the interior, until a new one is found.
