The Councilor for Territory and Urban Quality, Maria Josep Ripoll, has accompanied the Director General of Urban Planning, Vicent García Nebot, and the Commissioner for Expatriates in Urban Planning, John Kirby, in a talk addressed to foreign expatriates residing in Spain about the process for the legalization of existing irregular dwellings on rural land.
The objective of this meeting has been to make urban planning more understandable for citizens, as explained by Ripoll. This "necessary effort to reach the technical teams of the town halls and expatriate groups", as García Nebot has defined it, aims to show expatriates "the opportunities within the complexity of Urbanism" "to solve daily problems".
The meeting, which took place in Dénia, has been an opportunity to inform expatriates about the measures that are being taken to regularize irregular housing on rural land and to answer the questions and concerns of the attendees.
