Abstract

The authors explain how the abstract assessment of spatial structures that takes into account what are
generally accepted to be socially relevant principles such as cohesion-integration, spatial efficiency and
competitiveness, sustainability, quality of life and well-being, territorial equity or environmental justice has
become a research field whose results are of prime importance both for the public itself and its political
representative bodies. This is held to be so insomuch as abstract assessment allows for a gauging of to what
an extent spatial organization satisfies these social demands and then offers remedies for any failures to
meet these. The paper aims to reconsider the meanings of spatial imbalance –re-balancing in terms of such
principles. It then offers a method for analyzing these based on those statistical techniques and geographical
information systems used on a broad research front for evaluating the spatial organization and recent
changes undergone in the Madrid metropolitan area. To round out and to illustrate the fore-going, a little
field date is offered.
