Abstract
GARCIA-DOMENECH, Sergio; MARTI-CIRIQUIAN, Pablo and ROS-MCDONELL, Diego. GRAPHIC RESOURCES FOR URBAN PLANNING: international standardization proposals. Bitácora Urbano Territorial [online]. 2014, vol.24, n.1, pp.53-60. ISSN 0124-7913.
Graphic resources used by urban planners from diverse cultural backgrounds, differ not only on urban planning tradition but also, on specific cultural and professional approaches. However, certain universal graphic resources clearly reveal the opportunity to investigate the standardization alternatives which, in turn, respect each local regulation. After an introduction about graphic resources for urban planning, this paper complies and presents several international proposals -from both Europe and North America, without forgetting some initiatives from emerging economies- for graphic standardization. It can be concluded that the implementation of current GIS offers a potential possibility to homogenize the graphic resources for urban planning.
