The Strategic Plan of Donostia/San Sebastián is a living document that adapts to changes, with a medium to long-term outlook.
Its final product (the tangible aspect within the intangibility of urban strategic planning) is a set of projects or lines of action whose execution leads to the city we want to become.
Therefore, many of the projects (adapted to different political, economic, and social contexts) evolve, and there is no clear dividing line between the projects from the first plan and those incorporated in the second strategic plan; rather, there is a link, a connection. Thus, continuity, reinvention, or adaptation occurs depending on the situation.
This section highlights some of the most relevant projects for the city. The key is to understand them as city projects in the broadest sense: some were incubated by the Strategy Office, others are part of city, regional, or national strategies, and others are important for the city even if not directly linked to the Strategy Office's work.
In any case, all of them are essential for the city we aspire to be.
