PROSPECTS ON THE GROWING CITY

摘要

The public housing scheme in no. 8, Valle del Boi in the new district of Carabanchel is part of a wider policy being pursued by the Madrid City Council through its Empresa Municipal de la Vivienda y Suelo (EMVS). The plan to construct 59,000 houses by 2011 (32,500 of which will be built entirely with public funding) has set the scene for an urban model in which the outpost of urban growth is presented as an uninterrupted stretch of council dwellings for sale or rent - equitable to a carpet of homogeneous blocks at least six storeys high.
