Madrid Nuevo Norte project actions

Madrid Nuevo Norte has an online platform to facilitate citizen participation in the project and promote transparency in the process.

What is the impact?

Thanks to the neighbourhood participation activities that have been carried out, Madrid Nuevo Norte has the support of 91.7% of the residents of the affected districts and 80.8% of the Madrid population, which results in a positive impact on target 16.6 and the Madrid target of increasing the transparency of public institutions.

Operational indicator

With the creation of the Social Engagement area in Crea Madrid Nuevo Norte in 2016, the company, the main private developer of the project, became the first Spanish company to have a specific department for social participation in an urban development project.

Through this area and a series of citizen information offices opened in the neighbourhoods affected by Madrid Nuevo Norte, multiple inclusive activities for all segments of the population were carried out to increase awareness and citizen participation.

Also, during the public information period of the Specific Modification of the 1997 City Plan (SMCP) in the planning areas APR 08.03 "EXTENSION OF THE CASTELLANA" and APE 05.27 "COLONIA CAMPAMENTO" for the definition of the determinations and planning parameters of the urban development operation "MADRID NUEVO NORTE" (SMCP), a total of 3,451 allegations were submitted by 1,544 interested parties.

Each allegation was analysed and classified based on its content and nature, with a total of 60 response sheets sent.

Lastly, of the 3,451 allegations, four were completely included in the SMCP; 2,975 were partially included (in other words, their inclusion in the content of the SMCP was partially admitted in terms of some of the issues raised, with the rest excluded); and 492 were rejected, mainly because they dealt with the cessation of activity.
