Since the end of the 20th century, the periphery has begun to be seen as an opportunity to build the contemporary European city, recognizing a distinct order, logic, and identity from the traditional city and solving the functional problems that avoid dependence on other urban areas. The present case study is based on the recognition of La Patacona as a periurban area without identity, as a result of the development of sectorized and divergent urban plans and, in addition, of the physical and functional segregation with the urban area of Alboraya. This condition is detrimental to the development of social dynamics and leads to dependence on the Metropolitan Area of Valencia.
