Overview
- Madrid is advancing an update to its 1997 PGOU through a newly created Plan Estratégico Municipal with initial approval targeted for 2027.
- The 'Sueña Madrid 2025' contest evaluated 56 of 103 submissions and awarded three student teams, with officials praising proposals for greener and more inclusive urban solutions.
- The 56 shortlisted projects are exhibited at Centro Cultural San Francisco La Prensa until December 17 before an itinerant tour across seven districts.
- Participants focused on eight underused enclaves — Oporto, Antonio López, Aluche, Herrera Oria, Canillejas, La Esperanza, Plaza de Castilla and Bellas Vistas — tackling mobility, regeneration, public space, housing and local activity.
- Barakaldo's PGOU revision, in phase three with its Documento Inicial Estratégico, closed its extended public consultation today as eleven neighborhood groups filed over 60 proposals, including calls to relocate Gases Oxinorte and Bilbaína de Alquitranes, while the plan's advance keeps competing options and proceeds under a €1.17 million budget toward a 2027 roadmap for the next 15 years.
