Mayor José Luis Martínez-Almeida announced during the State of the City Debate the launch of the 'Nuevos Desarrollos' virtual office, which will operate through the Madrid Crece website starting July 1st. This initiative aims to provide official and verified information on new urban development areas that will shape the city's future and facilitate land utilization.
The Madrid Crece platform will integrate information on ten key areas for new housing development in the capital: Los Ahijones, Los Berrocales, Los Cerros, El Cañaveral, Valdecarros, Madrid Nuevo Norte, Arroyo Butarque, Paseo de la Ermita del Santo, Solana de Valdebebas, and the military facilities of Campamento.
These ten developments encompass a total of 154,192 homes, over 173 million square meters of green spaces, 7.7 million square meters for facilities, and nearly 4 million square meters for commercial and office use. The goal is to simplify the understanding of urban planning processes, enhance transparency, and provide relevant information to residents, professionals, and interested parties.
The digital office will didactically explain the phases of the urban planning process, from planning to construction, offering indicators on housing, green spaces, facilities, and commercial areas. It will include a FAQ section ('Resolvemos tus dudas') and a direct contact point with the City Council.
Each development will have a specific profile detailing progress in the planning, management, urbanization, and construction phases, with access to official documents, permits, and responsible declarations. Interactive maps, photographs, infographics, and links to the respective compensation boards will be included.
Madrid Crece aims to be a useful tool for citizens, enabling them to better understand the evolution of the capital's new neighborhoods, and for industry professionals, who will have access to centralized and updated technical documentation. The platform will also allow the City Council to gather citizen concerns and improve administrative procedures.
