Abstract

The research of the intervention model applied in the redevelopment of the Poblado Dirigido de Orcasitas (1976-1986) -that supposed the replacement of the residential blocks and the provision of new infrastructures- reflects an operation in which the neighborhood acts as a precursor and a field of experimentation. A critical review of the different aspects that determine the process is conducted: legislative and juridical framework; management; financing system and urban planning. The analysis of these four areas allows to delve into an intervention model whose real driving force is the participation of the residents, which paves the way for an operation of territorial scale: the Operación de Barrios en Remodelación de Madrid. The assessment of this intervention model, favored by a series of circumstances derived from the historical moment and the physical environment, attends to the purpose of optimizing the current processes and point out its value as a driver of urban change.
