There is a lack of studies on both aspects regarding urban populations. Our study evaluates the secular trends and the disparities in height of conscripts born between 1915 and 1953 and called-up at the age of 21 between 1936 and 1969, living in districts with low versus middle and high socio-economic conditions, in the city of Madrid, Spain.

  • CIVITAS ECCENTRIC Foster Active Mobility in Madrid Through Improvements in the Public Space
    CIVITAS ECCENTRIC foster active mobility in Madrid through improvements in the public space Author: Mariana Falcone Guerra. CIVITAS ECCENTRIC Local Dissemination Manager. Transportation Research Center – TRANSyT, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid CIVITAS ECCENTRIC FOSTER ACTIVE MOBILITY IN MADRID THROUGH IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PUBLIC SPACE ABSTRACT CIVITAS ECCENTRIC is a European project focused on sustainable mobility in peri-central areas and innovative urban freight logistics. It comprises more than 50 measures related to active mobility, the use of public transport, electric mobility and urban freight logistics. These measures have been evaluated in 5 laboratory areas, located in the cities of Stockholm (Sweden), Madrid (Spain), Munich (Germany), Ruse (Bulgaria) and Turku (Finland). 11 measurements were carried out in Madrid, many of them in the laboratory area: the districts of Puente and Villa de Vallecas. With the outbreak of the health crisis, measures related to the promotion of active mobility (MAD 2.8, MAD 4.6 and MAD 4.7) have gained importance. The project obtained significant results through specific improvements in public space, such as the implementation of pedestrian and bicycle routes, improvements in accessibility at pedestrian crossings, tactical urbanism actions, a smart signage system addressed to pedestrians and cyclists, etc. 13% of the affected population that live within a 400m band along the streets included in the measure MAD 4.6 declared to have changed to walking, resulting in 273,150 additional trips per month (or 9,105 additional trips per day). 30% of them were influenced by the street improvements on their choice for walking. The lack of a connected and safe cycling infrastructure acted as a barrier to the choice of the bicycle as a transport option.

The cities of Madrid and Barcelona have a special status through special laws, and due to their size and importance they have specific problems. Hence the importance of comparing the 2 cities in their infra-municipal organization and how their districts have been established for political representation, citizen participation and public policy. In order to study this phenomenon of administrative organization at the local level of Spain, the two models of deconcentration in their districts are compared and how they are organized according to legal regulation. KEYWORDS Local government, local governance, districts, citizen participation, participatory democracy SUMMARY 1. Introduction. 2. The districts in the big cities. 3.

  • Immigrant Business Strategies in the City of Madrid
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 2 No. 20 [Special Issue – October 2012] Immigrant Business Strategies in the City of Madrid Aurora García Ballesteros, PhD University Complutense of Madrid Spain Beatriz Cristina Jiménez Blasco, PhD University Complutense of Madrid. Spain Abstract This article is about the spatial patterns followed by immigrant entrepreneurs who open businesses in the city of Madrid. We have chosen six urban sectors where foreigners-owned commerces and services are numerous. We have carried a detailed study of their location, typology, nationality and entrepreneurship. Methodology used has been direct and participating observation and interviews to some strategical informants. In general, immigrant entrepreneurs try to locate better in those areas with a large immigrant population because they know the area, it is not too expensive, and they have potential clients among the people from their own country, although they also want more general clients. They open non-specialized businesses, with a small investment in goods and premises, looking for a quick profitability. Introduction The high number of immigrants arriving in Spain since late 1990's and, above all, their settling mainly in large towns have brought many different consequences. The most outstanding effects are shown in demography, economy, society and culture, and they are studied by very different researchers. One of the effects of immigration is the proliferation of shops and small enterprises created by immigrants basically in towns. The characteristics of these businesses and their mark on the city are the object of this work, carried out on the city of Madrid as the specific research case.

    PRIVATE RENTAL SECTOR 2019 Private Rented Sector Spain 2019 A GROUND-BREAKING OVERVIEW OF THE PRIVATE RENTED SECTOR IN SPAIN LOCATION, STRUCTURE, DATA POWERED BY RESEARCH RETAIL RESEARCH PRIVATE RENTED SECTOR 2019 Welcome to our report Private Rented Sector Spain 2019 night Frank is delighted to present this report outlining the key figures for the private rented housing sector – an up and coming asset class that is quickly gaining traction in the Spanish mar- ket. We firmly believe that this real estate segment will offer at- Ktractive opportunities for investors who, with the help of professional advi- sory services, are able to correctly position themselves at this early stage. This is precisely why we have created a specialist team that will be solely dedicated to this segment – the first of its kind in the Spanish rental market. We have combined the local expertise of our two main business areas – Capital Markets and Residential – and work in close collaboration with our PRS (Private Rented Sector) teams in the UK and the US, where we are market leaders in PRS, with over 150 professionals solely dedicat- ed to this area. In terms of Big Data, we have teamed up with urban Data Analytics, the leading data analysis firm that focuses on detailed real-time understanding of the sector. This report outlines some of the key takeaways for the rental market in Spain, looking at both the current climate and its future development. It also examines the strategic locations that could present attractive op- portunities, both for renters and varying investor groups. We are certain that this report will prove invaluable for all of our clients and will spark further debate regarding the numerous opportunities that this sector holds for the future.
