associated with these and large
urban infrastructures.
It is the most important project
executed in Madrid over the
last few decades and probably
one of the most ambitious
projects carried out in Europe
in recent times. This is perhaps
the first project following a new
approach of integrating large
infrastructures and the built
fabric of cities with the natural
environment that surrounds
them, producing a place in
which the landscape, the city,
the architecture and the urban
infrastructures combine to
create greater environmental
biodiversity and a city that is
greener and more habitable and
sustainable.
The project was highly complex
and to solve the issues it was
vital to use solutions that almost
reached the limit of what is
technically possible.
