The floods in Spain constitute the natural catastrophe that for centuries has produced the greatest material damage and loss of human lives. As a result, the fight against the negative effects of this risk has historically been a key element of hydrological planning and civil protection. In the 60th anniversary of the catastrophic flood that struck the city of Valencia, a discussion is made on the sufficiency of the infrastructures that were built to defend the city against new possible floods, reaching the conclusion that the risk has not been completely eradicated, and that new measures should be adopted in order to guarantee a higher degree of security. An analysis is made on the treatment that the plans on state, regional and local scale have over the city and the surrounding area, with the corresponding pronouncements made on the levels of flooding risk, and with the measures and limitations that must be observed in territorial and urban planning regarding the classifications of the soil, its uses and the urban regime.
