ANALYZING THE MONCLOA-ARAVACA district

This course was thought of as a first contact with the multiple and complex dimensions of city and territory production, studying the following aspects: the social, economic, and political factors that condition and run the city, the interaction of these factors with the functional structure and configuration of the pre-existing city, how these processes decline into a new city project and a specific urban morphology, the role that urban planning techniques play in regulating these processes and projects, and how they, in turn, are determined by them.

Organized by groups, students had to conduct a SWOT analysis extracting the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats of one of the districts of Madrid: the Moncloa-Aravaca district.
