• Resumen

  • Medium-sized cities articulate the territory and operate as provincial or regional reference centres, adopting the role of development nodes, providing basic services, production of goods and utilities, employment and dynamic movement of local economies. Focusing on this type of city, themain objective of this research is to establish a relationship between the concept of urban sustainability and the urban configuration present in a typical municipality. The methodology used focuses on the development of a geostatistical analysis with GIS of the indicators and standards of urban sustainability established in the Land Management Law of Extremadura. The results show notable differences between the neighbourhoods located on the periphery and the urban centre, with thelatter adopting a more compact and sustainable model. This research has contributed new advancesin the field of knowledge, leading to a significant improvement in decision-making in public management, which means a qualitative improvement in the quality of life of citizens.
