BELTRAN ALONSO, Haens; MENDOZA OTERO, Jency Niurka  and  ABREUS GONZALEZ, Adrian. Territorial and urban planning in Cuba: its impact on sustainable cities. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2022, vol.14, n.5, pp. 334-346.  Epub Oct 30, 2022. ISSN 2218-3620.

The article presents a characterization of the current state of territorial and urban planning in Cuba and its impact on sustainable and intelligent cities based on a descriptive analysis carried out by the authors. On its core, theoretical issues are addressed around sustainable cities, the emergence of territorial and urban planning, as well as the systemic nature of this planning. It is also conceived that the integration in the territorial and urban planning must be approached from the political, economic and geographical point of view, at the same time that it is understood as a conciliation of interests and resolution of differences. Finally, it is concluded that Cuba has implemented legislation aimed at regulating this planning, and promoted the constant updating of theories and regulations for this purpose. However, it is necessary to introduce the population approach in the management schemes and plans.

Keywords : Population approach; Sustainable cities; Territorial and urban planning.
