Abstract

The paper makes a précis of the proposals that were the core of the General Madrid Municipal Developing Plan, the so-called «Plan Bidager» of 1941. Its unifying thematic is recognized through the headings that were given to each of its major sub-headings: Madrid and its being the Capital, and railway organization, access to it, its zones, reform within it, and its spill-over growth. industrialization, a legthcning of the Castillana, its out-skirts, its boundaries, its dormitory towns. The paper is no mere bland study of this plan but, to the end of making it fully intelligible, goes to some pains in offering a far-reaching documentary background from archives and newspaper sources. In doing so, it has thrown into strong relief the continual and glaring contrasts as between the plan's thcoretica postulates –Madrid as a Capital for example– likewise those most widely canvassed by the National Architectural Assemblies and the daily press and the grim facts of actual urban practice in Spain throughout the '40s.
