Summary:The Elda-Petrer conurbation emerged as a consequence of the development of industry and urbanism from the 1970s onwards. Both cities have grown separately with no joint urban planning policy, until eventually the two towns merged. The functional relationships between the citizens and the construction of new housing has brought about the improvement of sociodemographic processes, particularly in relation to the ageing population, immigration and the loss of vitality in certain areas to the benefit of others. It has become necessary to implement a more efficient coordination with regards urban planning between the two towns, and also in public resource management.
