Rationale: Why is this case study interesting?
- Please summarise:- e.g. Design Innovation? Planning Exemplar? Theoretical Insights? Lessons learned from its failure? [It doesn’t have to have been successful]
The Region of Madrid is interesting because of his variety of hints in the landscape, which is very rich, and urban area. The demographic and periographic difference between the urban city and the rural surroundings is very striking, so there is a need to soften this contrast, to urbanize the rural and ruralize the urban.
- Think about it from the view of another educator/student in a different country. Why should I use this case study in my teaching/education?
Madrid is also an example to show the need of urban and landscape planning. A few systems don't work properly and have to be improved, so many plannings are going to be realized in this area. Furthermore, the environmenal impact is also an issue that has to be cared about in Madrid and its surroundings. Getting to know the case of Madrid, educators and students will be able to concern about this.
Author's perspective
- What theoretical or professional perspective do you bring to the case study? Please answer from your personal perspective.
I am studying architecture in Madrid, and have been living there my whole life, so i am closer to this case than to any other. Also, I am really interested in it because it is my living environment.
