The project, which involved an investment of 758,000 euros and covered an area of 3,600 square meters, has converted the section between Mario Cabré and Mérida streets into a single platform. Previously configured as a conventional road, the street now prioritizes pedestrian traffic and lingering, integrating areas for play and social interaction.
This new design aims to complement the activities of the adjacent school and sports center, allowing their users to utilize the environment as an extension of their educational and athletic pursuits. Significant environmental improvements include the planting of 65 trees and 5,900 shrubs, selected for their adaptation to Madrid's climate and low water consumption.
The space is organized into three distinct areas: landscaped zones with 'super-planters', resting areas with jabre paving, and accessible pedestrian paths made of paving stones. The installation of 11 new high-efficiency LED luminaires and urban furniture, including benches, tables, fountains, and loungers, completes the renovation.
This initiative is part of the municipal program to improve school environments, which has already upgraded 391 spaces across the city. The objective is to enhance road safety, accessibility, and environmental quality in the vicinity of educational centers. The Oberón intervention is part of the South Strategy, by which the City Council promotes urban, economic, and environmental transformation in several southern and eastern districts of the capital.
