The city, as other planned cities, has a distinctive structure. It consists of three ''phases'' and a newer development "Nuevo Tres Cantos". The two first phases are subdivided in ''sectors''. Most sectors, especially in the first phase (North), include internally pedestrian public spaces, being surrounded by streets. The names of urban places are usually related to the sector in which they are located–for example, the ''Sector Océanos'' consists of five streets named after the five oceans.
 
The town hosts a number of Spanish headquarters of companies such as [[Siemens]], [[Danone]], [[Beiersdorf]], advanced research at [[Merck_GroupMerck Group|Merck]], [[GlaxoSmithKline|GSK]], and a chapter of the Spanish High Committee of Scientific Research [[Spanish_National_Research_CouncilSpanish National Research Council|CSIC]].

== History ==
{{unreferenced section|date=May 2016}}
In 1969 to 1973, [[Vicente Mortes]], the Minister of Housing (Ministro de la Vivienda), commissioned by the dictator [[Francisco Franco]], was the first to establish and develop the town over a rural area. This was not the Tres Cantos we know today, because it was the old version of it. Later on, they decided to regenerate the city, copying what some English cities did during those times. In 1976, the company “Tres Cantos S.A.” was created and which regenerated the city. It is one of the company's projects planned on paper. Residential occupation began from 1982.
 
A separatist party promoted the independence of Tres Cantos, obtaining support from the [[Spanish Socialist Workers' Party|PSOE]] municipal councillors (with the opposition of the [[People's Party (Spain)|People's Party]]; PP), and thus, Tres Cantos seceded from [[Colmenar Viejo]] in 1991, becoming a standalone municipality.<ref name=plaza /> Despite the opposition to independence from the PP ranks, the municipality has eventually become a PP stronghold.<ref name=plaza /> Infrastructure development has continued apace, with a current (2005) 5-year development plan by local government authorities allowing for expansion of up to 60,000 inhabitants. The first mayor of Tres Cantos was Antonio Osuna with an 80% level of support from the population.
