ABSTRACT

This article analyses the evolution of the three principal administrative entities that are currently empowered to process urban planning licenses in the city of Madrid. The article draws from demographic analyses and historical data, initially by comparing them to similar data of other large capitals. It shows that the configuration of Districts is key to understanding the development of the city, and that this responsibility falls within the daily duties of Municipal Boards. This relationship elucidates districts’ prevailing autonomies and their developments, and moreover that these developments are rhythmic in nature as they are associated with the growth of the metropolis. To understand the dynamics of the so-called Greater Madrid Area, and the complex nature of managing authorizations for building projects, it is helpful to have insights into administrative entities with processing power. To attain the latter it is necessary to study the evolution of these entities, i.e. how they have adapted to the complexities of administrating urban rights.

摘要

本文分析了马德里市目前有权处理城市规划许可证的三个主要行政实体的演变。这篇文章借鉴了人口分析和历史数据，最初是通过将它们与其他大型首都的类似数据进行比较。它表明，区的配置是了解城市发展的关键，而这一职责属于市政委员会的日常职责。这种关系阐明了地区的主要自治权及其发展，而且这些发展在本质上是有节奏的，因为它们与大都市的发展有关。要了解所谓的大马德里地区的动态，以及管理建筑项目授权的复杂性，深入了解具有处理能力的行政实体是有帮助的。为了实现后者，有必要研究这些实体的演变，即它们如何适应管理城市权利的复杂性。
