| Summary: | This work aims to understand how the Spanish Urban Agenda, approved in 2019, is providing (or not) policy responses for a better post-COVID urban future. The study looks to the genealogy of the SUA, and its evolution and main featuresto understand the kind of contribution that it is making to the national urban policy framework. It explores to what extent the SUA has been exposed to policy transfer dynamics from supranational frameworks, and particularly if it is going beyond the alignment with the 2030 Agenda in the frame of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan of Spain -España Puede- (Gobierno de España, 2021). The general conclusion is that the SUA is not as new as presented by the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda (MITMA). It has been built on the path initiated under the leadership of the Ministry of Finance. It arises as a case of policy transfer that integrates recommendations made by the European Commission and its methodological approach -Acquis Urbain- to sustainable urban development. However, there is something new derived from the 2030 Agenda that has facilitated the new leadership of the MITMA and determined its content. Furthermore, the Covid-19 pandemic has constituted a focusing event impacting the SUA since it has provided for the first time funding for its implementation, reinforcing its role as leverage policy in the country |
