THE LINEAR CITY: A MODEL OF A SUSTAINABLE CITY? The linear city was a proposal made by Arturio Soria at the end of the 19th century, to turn Madrid into a more human city , a city which was closer to nature.

Arturo Soria´s aim was to solve some of the problems that Madrid had at that time: transport, overpopulation and sanitary conditions.

There were two different theories to solve the problems caused by the industrial revolution:

Naturistic theories. The houses would have a garden and an orchard.

Hygienist theories:Their objective was to improve the sanitary conditions of the city. Proposals: - to buid wider streets - to build detached or semidetached houses.

The most important objective was to combine nature and city.

THE PROJECT The final project was a linear city surrounded by nature, and with a central area for services.

The new houses The new houses were bigger and had a garden. There was also a vegetable garden or a space for working the land. New houses for working people Old houses

Houses in the linear city

A middle- class house The bathroom The living room

Indoor gardens the Hall

TYPES OF HOUSES

Prototipos de casas de la ciudad lineal Arturo Soria let the architects free to build different models of houses in order to avoid monotony.

SERVICES The new city had a tram .

It also had space for vegetable gardens and for groceries

for leisure and for cultural and sport activities. Sport facilities Casino A theatre A school Colegio de Huérfanos de la Armada

THE PROJECT FAILS After the death of Arturo Soria, C.M.U. went through a period of economical crisis. Due to this, the original idea was changed.

THE LINEAR CITY TODAY The demographic boom of Madrid, the rise of prices and the proximity of the linear city to the city centre put an end to the project. The linear city ,built in thr northesat of Madrid
