Planning theory is the body of scientific concepts, definitions, behavioral relationships, and assumptions that define the body of knowledge of urban planning. There are nine procedural theories of planning that remain the principal theories of planning procedure today: the Rational-Comprehensive approach, the Incremental approach, the Transformative Incremental (TI) approach, the Transactive approach, the Communicative approach, the Advocacy approach, the Equity approach, the Radical approach, and the Humanist or Phenomenological approach.
The linear city was an urban plan for an elongated urban formation proposed by Arturo Soria y Mata in 1882. The city would consist of a series of functionally specialized parallel sectors. Generally, the city would run parallel to a river and be built so that the dominant wind would blow from the residential areas to the industrial strip. The sectors of a linear city would be:
- a purely segregated zone for railway lines,
- a zone of production and communal enterprises, with related scientific, technical and educational institutions,
- a residential zone, including a band of social institutions, a band of residential buildings and a "children's band",
- a park zone,
- an agricultural zone with gardens and state-run farms.

Mariano Belmás Estrada was a Spanish architect. He was a prominent theoretician of urban planning in Madrid in the late 19th century, particularly in addressing the problem of housing workers as the city modernized and its population grew. He viewed architecture in terms of technical solutions to social problems rather than aesthetics. He was the lead architect in the first year of reconstruction after the 1884 Andalusian earthquake. He was a founder and one of the first architects of the Ciudad Lineal of Madrid, a planned neighborhood. Later he abandoned his youthful idealism and became a successful and respected architect who created eclectic designs of major new buildings and renovations for public and private clients.
