From 2007 to 2011 an urban transformation process has been
carried out within the course of the Manzanares through the city as its
backbone. The main objective of the project has been quality of life for
the citizen. The result is that henceforth we can say, once again, that
Madrid has a river.
This edition offers us a close-up view of the urban transformation
process that the MadridRío project has involved. An extensive
selection of texts written by engineers, town planners, architects and
historians reflects the multifaceted nature of this urban adventure.
Likewise, a carefully selected gallery of large format images offers
us a spectacular view of the river?s past and its metamorphosis as
we discover how this project has changed the city and the life of its
citizens.
