Lógicas Globales en la organización del territorio madrileño

Abstract

Numerous indicators do of the region of Madrid one of the most dynamical territories of the Mediterranean. The reasons of his expansion are in the adjustment of his economy to the opportunities of the globalization and in the efforts of the regional government for overcoming inherited imbalances, improving the quality of life of his inhabitants and adapting the territory to the requirements of an internationalized system. The logics of the globalization are also responsible for the major landscape transformations experienced by the region of Madrid along his history. We are present at the birth of a territorial model who aspires to transform his radial structure for reticulated other one. The "metropolitan"model, who was opposing center and periphery, is replaced by a model of diffuse and polynuclear "city-region", where the disparitys acquire protagonism before the employment, the difficulties of access to the housing, the populationaging, the foreign immigration and the risks of exclusion.
