Abstract

This paper analyzes the legal status of the metropolitan areas in Andalusia. It begins by noting the passing of heavy metropolitan government formulas, and the need to seek more flexible alternatives. The failure of metropolitan area, as a local authority (43 LBRL), can be solved by use of alternatives legal techniques that were not initially designed for this purpose, but are proving themselves equally useful and effective. These alternative formulas should be emphasized the territorial planning, the commonwealth of municipalities and local consortia. The first one for the potential of his transverse character and integrator of the metropolitan territory. The latter by its associative character, on a voluntary basis and the flexibility of their legal status.
