Fountains, Madrid Rio, Madrid ..... a marvel of town planning.

            The waters of the Manzanares River ﬂow once again as a result of the ambitious plan to move the old M-30 motorway underground, creating over ten kilometres of pedestrian and cycling routes. These connect important land marks of the city alonf 7 km of the river such as Puente de Segovia and Puente de Toledo bridges, the Virgen del Puerto Chapel and new urban landmarks, like the Puente Monumental bridge in Arganzuela Park and the city beach. Madrid Río has opened up new spaces and incorporated existing areas into a project tackling three aspects of city life: the environment, leisure and sport. Its most outstanding achievement, however, is doing away with the barrier hindering communication between the two river banks, which separated one side of the city from the other. At the time these contraversial works between 2006 and 2011 were scoffed at for their pharaonic aspects. But the transformation of the zone is now recognised as a truly positive move. The Madrid Rio Park has been awarded The Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design from Harvard University.
