Inhabited milieu's challenges Madrid, with more than three million inhabitants, has an economically and socially very diverse population. It is a complex city, in constant transformation, made up of very different urban fabrics, characteristic of the different periods in which they were built.
Madrid City Council is promoting a Strategic Neighbourhood Regeneration Plan for pre-1985 residential urban fabrics.

The Madrid City Council is promoting a Strategic Plan for the regeneration of neighbourhood units that were built between the 1950s and 1980s to house the immigrant population. These peripheral residential estates are made up of large “superblocks” with inter-block spaces for collective use, poorly urbanized and without accessibility conditions halfway between the public and the domestic. The challenge is to rethink open spaces as catalysts for the transformation and regeneration of this neighbourhood.
