    The document discusses the linear city model proposed by Arturo Soria in the late 19th century as a more sustainable alternative for Madrid. Soria aimed to address problems of overpopulation, transportation, and sanitation by designing a linear city surrounded by nature with central services and new houses that had gardens. However, after Soria's death and economic challenges, the original vision was changed and the project ultimately failed as Madrid's population boom and rising prices led development elsewhere.

    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 Sorias 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 living room The bathroom
    Indoor gardens the Hall
    TYPES OF HOUSES

    Arturo Soria let the architects free to build different models of
    houses in order to avoid monotony.

    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.
