In order to develop the political program of government reforms, achieve maximum austerity and effectiveness in its action and the greatest efficiency in the operation of the General Administration of the State, the Real Decree 1823/2011 of 21 December 2011, which restructured the ministerial departments, in which Article 7 provides that the Ministry of Public Works is responsible for the proposal and implementation of the Government's policies in the field of infrastructure, land transport of state, air and sea competition, as well as housing, quality of the building and soil.

Subsequently, Royal Decree 1887/2011 of 30 December, approving the basic organic structure of the ministerial departments, develops the structure of the Ministry of Development in the higher and higher organs. The new structure is characterised by a substantial reduction in the number of these bodies.

The present royal decree, which continues this process of rationalization and reduction of administrative structures, gives compliance to the provisions of the second provision of the aforementioned Royal Decree 1887/2011, of 30 of December, completing and developing the basic organic structure of the department's senior organs and managers up to the level of general subdirection.

Among the most important novelties introduced by this royal decree is the decrease in the number of general sub-addresses in the area of architecture and housing, recasting the four previously existing only two. In addition, two sub-directorates-general of the defunct Directorate-General for Institutional Relations are deleted.

In addition, the number of sub-addresses in the General Technical Secretariat is reduced by deleting the general sub-directorate of the Publications Centre, which will have the rank to be determined in the list of posts job.

On the other hand, two new sub-directions are created in the field of the State Secretariat for Infrastructure, Transport and Housing. The General Subdirectorate for Railway Coordination, which aims to increase efficiency in the area of railway infrastructure; the Emergency and Coordination and Crisis Management Unit, for direct support of the Secretary of State in those areas. crisis situations which may occur in relation to transport services and infrastructure.

Likewise, it is anticipated that the public bodies linked or dependent on the Ministry of Public Works will be attached, under the top management, evaluation and control of the Department's head, and by attributing to the Secretariat of State Infrastructure, Transport and Housing the strategic direction, evaluation and control of the results of its activity.

Finally, with this royal decree, all the exceptions in the appointment of the Directors-General that were included in the previous royal decrees of the basic organic structure of the Ministry of Public Works are deleted. only the exception of the Directorate-General for Architecture, Housing and Soil, as set out in the Additional Disposition 4 of Royal Decree 1887/2011 of 30 December 2011. This is due to the very special moment in which the housing market in Spain is located, as well as the problems that the current economic situation has created in the construction sector, which requires a flexible and immediate capacity to responding to and adapting to the challenges posed, including the significant increase of actors involved in it, which makes it necessary to have professional experience and qualified knowledge not only from a point of view market regulation, but also from a point of view of the private operators who have been involved in the are involved in the industry.
