On the edges of the current city, on an arid gypsum landscape, rapidly rises the enextension of the Vallecas district. This urban planning project is part of an ambitious, voracious, anodyne enlargement operation that will have Madrid’s municipal area to the brim. This hostile fact has served as a reagent, with Ecosistema Urbano drawing up a proposal for an ecological boulevard. Winner of a competition organized by Madrid’s City Hall, the proposal calls for the building of three large cylinders along the boulevard, one of which has already gone up. The cylinders are to serve as catalysts of public life, thereby improving the generally poor quality of public space in city extensions of this kind.
