description Toledo is not only a historical city, but one that has been developed haphazardly in a disjointed and unstructured manner. In 2007, the Municipal Urban Zoning Plan established its main purpose as to resolve this dysfunctionality in a sustainable way. The objective of this article is to demonstrate that this plan has foundered and it is necessary to consider a newer and more urbanised city planning model. The plan took into consideration an erroneous territorial model with an expansive land development classification that includes extensive housing development. We have implemented an analytical and critical methodology based upon multiple sources, such as literature, the press and other direct sources: statistics, judicial rulings, GIS and the plan itself. This research and its findings are comparatively applicable to other cities where there is an expansive urban development model in place.
