Urban conceptual figurative plan
Introduction
The Madrid General Planning Plan, approved by special law in 1946, was a General Urban Planning and Expansion Plan for Madrid, the capital of Spain. Its work was started in 1941 by the architect and urban planner Pedro Bidagor Lasarte, which is why the plan is also known as Plan Bidagor.
This plan has been considered as a representation and symbol of a certain conception of the city developed in accordance with the theory of Falangist urbanization, due to the additions of strong figurative value, as an envelope to satisfy the political demand for symbolic and emblematic value. Regardless of these considerations, it is the first urban plan drawn up in Spain that globally regulated land use by area and prevented its development through the formulation of partial plans.
History
Background
After the definition of the "extensions" at the end of the century and beginning of the 20th century, the successive "regional plans" of 1923, 1929 and 1934 tried to resolve the growth of the city through its decentralization using the railway for the first time. The proposals developed by the Secundino Zuazo and Hermann Jansen project of 1929 respond to the theoretical model of the limited and closed central core and the peripheral crown of autonomous units separated from each other and from the central core by green rings and wedges.[1].
