The Governing Board of the Madrid City Council has given initial approval to the Special Plan for the Meaques area, in the Latina district, which foresees the construction of 236 homes, the creation of new green spaces, and a park-and-ride facility.

The plan, promoted by the Department of Urbanism, Environment, and Mobility, will now undergo a one-month public information period and the mandatory environmental procedures before the Community of Madrid. The development is located in the westernmost part of the capital, bordering Pozuelo de Alarcón, and covers over 52,700 square meters.
One of the key objectives is to adapt urban planning to the current reality, reorganizing residential plots and the road network without reducing the area designated for green spaces. 236 new homes will be brought to market, of which approximately one-fifth will be subject to some form of public protection.
The initiative also includes the transfer of the corresponding urban development rights to the City Council, strengthening municipal participation. Notably, space is reserved under a green area for a park-and-ride facility of approximately 3,500 square meters, with an estimated capacity of 420 to 560 spaces, aiming to facilitate connection with public transport and reduce private vehicle traffic.
The plan incorporates measures to protect the existing natural heritage, maintaining most of the current trees, such as elms and pines, and only relocating specimens incompatible with the future development or new roads. It seeks to improve the landscape integration and connection with surrounding green spaces, respecting the development of the Metropolitan Forest and the ecological corridor of the Meaques stream.
Through this intervention, the Madrid City Council aims to combine the expansion of housing supply with the creation of new public spaces and the improvement of mobility in a sector with development potential in the Latina district.
