Description and analysis of the consequences of the housing Boom in Asturias using Geographical Information Systems, 1996-2006

The period between 2000 and 2007 was a period in which Spain was growing in a bubble around the construction sector driven by the boom in real estate and the high growth rate of public infrastructures. The macroeconomic consequences of this unbalanced growth of the construction are well known but th...
