The content is divided into six chapters: park space, water space, covered space, renovated space, urban space and mobility space.

Overall, the volume displays 56 projects selected from the 265 actually built during the period.For each chapter, the journalist Anatxu Zabalbeascoa conducts an interview with two experts that give their points of view from inside and outside the metropolitan Administration. Two reflections from the architects in charge of AMB urban planning and public space complete the volume.
