Madrid: The 'gran sur metropolitan' scheme
Abstract
The Gran Sur (South) Metropolitan scheme is described here as a proposal for a regional developing to the aim of achieving of an ample economic, spatial and environmental transformation of part of the Madrid territory (364 km 2 ) at the present under the threat of environmental decline. The paper speaks of its affecting three municipal districts, a major part of the city's productive effort and some 900,000 of its inhabitants, most of these youngsters. The updating of the productive set up and a raising of the population's standard of living call for a territorial transformation which, based upon an all-embracing and long term understanding of the area, would offer an alternative to its present state of generalized decay. What is sought after here is a radical change in both the landscape and the setting up of the foundations for such an environmental development as would answer to its new environmental demands. The developing of the 'Parque Lineal (lineal park) Sur M-50' as a space devoted to economic and public service activities, of a new Woodland Park as a measure to halt the decline in farming quality, the inner municipal rehabilitation of eight population centres are here seen as forming part of a new city system along with the keeping up of some 15,000 Ha that have as yet not suffered any decline are held to be the master guidelines for this scheme and, in the long run, for a project that would require for its early stages the setting apart of a strategically scheduled zone in order to guarantee the future promise of the projections.
