How This City Transformed The Busiest Highway In Europe to 30km of Cycle Path

- Madrid, is the capital and most populated city in Spain, which has been experiencing ever increasing heatwaves, and is having to rapidly adapt to these climate pressures. Since cities around the world consume two-thirds of the global energy supply and generate three-quarters of the world's greenhouse emissions, its essential that cities are actively upgrading their infrastructure to become more green. Madrid has become a leader in green infrastructure ranking 6th in the European Union. This is a major achievement considering Madrid is the second-largest city in the European Union with 3.4 million inhabitants and up to 6.7 million people within its metropolitan area.
Interestingly Madrid lies almost exactly at the geographical heart of the Iberian Peninsula, its a strategic location for the political and financial center of the country because it considered somewhat neutral, since Spain is made of 17 Autonomous regions, each having different cultural practices and even languages. Cities across Spain are well connected to Madrid through an extensive network of bullet trains called AVE, with 3,100km of track which is the longest high-speed rail network in Europe, connecting the most populated cities around the country to Madrid.
Its Madrid's accessibility and high-tech infrastructure juxtaposed with its historical buildings which make it an attractive destination for tourists. Before 2020 a whopping 7.6 million people visited Madrid each year, since 2020 numbers have dropped significantly at approximately 2.2 million. Many Tourists like to visit Spain for the warm climate but Madrid's climate is fairly extreme from cold, crisp and windy winters to very hot dry summers, this is because the city sits at an elevation of some (646 metres) or 2,120 feet above sea level, making it one of the highest capitals in Europe.
The summer months of July and August are extremely oppressive and this year was no except, with the highest officicial recorded temperature taken at 40.7c on the 14th July 2022 but in some cases it can feel like 45c due to the urban heat island effect from the concrete and tarmac radiating the suns heat.
Over the last decades Madrid has been turning this around by pouring its resources into green infrastructure to become better climate adapted. In this video we will show you how Madrid removed a highway to install its most ambitious green project called the Madrid Rio which encompasses 47 different projects with a total cost of 280 million euros improving the lives for millions of people, by planting well over 9,000 trees, creating 30km of cycle paths and multiple recreational spaces.

Any updates on some of these places now and how they are doing in the present?
I feel Amazon can use support next.
Something you might like, it´s what happened to river Turia in Valencia, Spain (3rd biggest city in the country).
There was a huge flooding several decades ago, which caused extraordinary damage. As a result, Valencians moved the natural riverbank to the outskirts, to prevent any more damage. And with the empty, "natural" riverbank, they created a huge park (roughly 2.5 times the length of Central Park, NY), that basically allows you walk from the northernost parts of the city, to the sea, barely touching asphalt.
One of the "hidden" gems of Spain, that many foreigners don´t know about. IMO...
Best!
And that’s what happens when you build a city in a ‘floodable’ area. What’s greenest? Maybe not to build your city there, no flood problems from the first day and a lot of millions saved (both in lives and euros)
@@fabiomejias6747 Floods are a common recurring event that all cities and towns of the Mediterranean, so they ate prepared to deal with them.
The problem are the once in a century mega floods like the one who he is mentioning.
The idea of abandoning cities who have been populated since before the romans is stupid
Don't say it too much, as it's getting super expensive lol! You are right Valencia is so good and green, compared to Madrid, for example. There is a lot of green everywhere, not only the parks, also the avenues and streets, trees that gives a lot of shade and helps to cool down the city
@@Lucas24997 I know that very well and floods are common not only in the Mediterranean but in other áreas too. Specially on extended river courses and my statement isn't contradicting yours but my point is that the most ecological thing to do is to build out of those areas instead of building there see a disaster and then spend a lot of money trying tocante the direction in which the river flows.
@@enriquer007 how much does CZcams charge you per comment because I don't get any bills...
Indeed I think Valencia is greener and I prefer it to my own city. But that is not an argument against my statement which is that bulding in flooding areas wait for a catatroph to occur and then spend millions changing the course of a river is neither the greenest nor the wisest way of doing things.
Wow! Remarkable. I love Spain. Saludos desde Ciudad de Cebu, Filipinas.
Thank you for your nice video!
I grew up in Madrid next to the highway removed (Marqués de Vadillo), and nowadays that area looks like a completely different place... Green areas, cycling lanes, avian species, really original playgrounds for everyone...
A polluted and noisy city transformed into an enjoyable urban area. Undoubtedly, a huge success.
Looking forward to watching your next videos.
I hope I can visit and live in Spain someday one of the best countries in the world coming from the Philippines.

Madrid is a fine example of new priorities in city planning . Make people aware . We have no choice if we wish to continue . City officials whose plans fall in favour of green projects will get the votes !!!!!!!
Thanks Madrid for taking steps to help your city and climate change.
Love this channel and so proud of the City of Madrid
Thank you 😊
I love this type of urban planning, it is great for the people and the environment.
I live in Madrid, near madrid Rio, and I can say madrid it's really full of trees.
Great video!!
I really appreciate your videos -- you always give a great overview of the project and always put it in context, which is so useful and makes it more interesting. And the positive spin is such a nice break from doomsday scenarios that are so popular. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your supportive comment ☺
Honor and respect for this river 😊🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Un gran proyecto,Madrid Rio es de lo mejor que se ha hecho en la Capital de España...saludos,Oviedo,España,UE...
Wonderful work. Thank you very much.
Fantastic and beautiful! Thanx for a very well made video! Though you could leave the still photos, graphs etc a bit longer onscreen, many are interesting and full pf info
👍🏾
Excellente video, more should be like this, short and concise.
BEAUTIFUL CHANGE & RENOVATION 🎉🎉🎉
So beautiful city. Love Madrid ❤
Another very good video to share! Thank you!
Awesome. You can feel the cooler temperatures through the video. I hope more cities find ways to manage rivers while maximizing benefits. Rivers in canals are lazy solutions
Seeing channels like this alongside Leave Curious or mossy earth gives me hope on restoration.
a good start!!!
Here in India, they re doing same what Spain had done in past, They re removing green strips nd constructing highways on sides of waterways, canals nd rivers
I live in Madrid since 1992. Best decision.
The M30 highway wasnt removed totally , was modified, now its underground. I know that because i live there
Wow you actually visited the park, that's nice
Auf dem Vorschaubild haben sie nicht nur die Straße abgerissen. Die haben auch die Brücke abgerissen und eine andere hingebaut, den Flusslauf geändert und die Bebauung ist auch eine komplett andere... Man könnte auf die Idee kommen, dass es 2 unterschiedliche Orte sind 😅
Lovely.
Toronto,Ontario is doing some great jobs along hw 401 and QEW.
hehehe
Wish more would do the same.
100% need more river restorations and green accessibility
Go Spain
💪🇪🇺🇪🇦
I would like that made it in São Paulo, Brazil.
Madrid es una de las mejores y más bonitas ciudades europeas. En verano la ciudad se queda prácticamente vacía porque la gente aprovecha las vacaciones para irse a las ciudades de la costa a disfrutar de la playa.
What a wonderful transformation!!! It’s an exemple to the world, that now, is claiming for sustainability!!!!
Your job is exceptional!, very educative. It encourages me to go ahead with my ecological house project, and my fruit trees project, I am growing up a lot of seeds that I hope to plant next year. I am learning a lot from you, thank you so much, and keep up the very good job!
Consider honeylocusts for their sweet ,edible beans; and lindon trees and some mulberries produce edible leaves, for greens...
good work
UK been experiencing droughts recently hope there can be actions taken to restore them.
And floods in Victoria now
1:51 this is Sevilla...
Every city in Spain has one of these temperature measuring screens
@@LeafofLifeWorld yeah but Torre Sevilla it's just in Sevilla lol
I Love to watch your videos and also recommend it to my friends , this is the hidden gem of CZcams , Love from INDIA
Thank you friend 👍
India has done a lot recently. They've been very smart. Hopefully they keep up the good work. They are rivaling parts of Europe for forward thinking and resilience.
The cost of the entre work was more of less 6000 millions not 280. And Madrid is plenty of trees
So cool and brave decision 🍀🦄🌾
**Urban green oasis** The light taxes: 💀
Even now, very less trees planted in the park
Pittsburgh should do this
~ trees and clean water are best education ~
That is so true, we all need clean water! 💦
Less urban heat island effect
Every city in every "developed" country must enact a Madrid plan...then join together to help fund LOCALLY DESIGNED plans in "developing" nations..
di eropa pada suhu panas.. itu sampai berapa celcius? bukan kah semua eropa negara sub tropik n dingin?
bagus banget sungai nya
In Spain it is normal that the temperatures get over 40°C during the heatwaves in summer, with, in rare cases getting close to even 50°C
I live in the Madrid city center. The project took years to complete, almost the entire time my children took to grow up. You can imagine the noise and dissruption it caused to the local residents not to mention the decades it will take to repay the cost by Madrid's population. There are many other areas crying out to be made green but so far most are covered in stone and rented out as retail event spaces. Madrid is meant to have more trees than any other European city but you'd be excused for wondering where they are!
Andy there are in every single street in both sides. Just look at them
There is nothing to complain about. Madrid is super green, it's an example to follow... and Madrid Río is amazing!! 😍😍
Of course it took time and money, but the result was fantastic. It has completely change to much much bettet a huge area in Madrid. Besides, Madrid is very green (and lovely) all over the city.
Not in the city centre. But Madrid is much more than what lies within the M30.
I know Madrid very well, lived there for five years, and trees are all around the city, bordering every meaningful avenue or street
"... number of cars has nerly doubled in the last 10 years, it's starting to pull back!"
... are you talking about 2019?!
So when people say things are destroyed forever. It’s not always true. They can be restored once we find another way.
You ever do a video on Singapore? They do everything right. That’s how to build a (green) city.
Medellín did the same thing. The idea was to replace the concrete-paved riverside of the Rio Medellín, and send the near freeway underground. On top of it, The City authority built a park with a huge causeway, so commoners can cross on foot comfortably from one district to another. Something that was actually impossible, previous years before.
This channel made a video about it already did you see it?
Bicycles make life better.
Every child and adult should own a bicycle and ride it regularly.
There is a world wide obesity epidemic leading to higher rates of heart disease, high blood pressure and cancer.
Everyone would be a little healthier if they rode a bicycle to work, school or for fun.
There is a North American obesity epidemic, the rest of the world managed to avoid ballooning.
If you're going to ask for bike lanes you need rail as well to make it more functional and practical.
@@b_uppy City trains and trolleys are great options and part of a well diversified mobility network.
@@KJSvitko
Exactly. I like bike lanes away from traffic personally, that adds a lot more to biking's safety and desirability.
Human beings hold in each hand the power to destroy and the power to restore. The choice is always ours.
Well articulated Jamie.
l'm from burgos, -20 grades january or february 😂
It also gets cold in Madrid but also gets very hot in the summer, Burgos aswell was hot, but Burgos is a fairly green city since they have a river which is quite naturalized keeping temperatures cooler
This is great, but I feel like the creation of the car tunnel was unnecessary
Why? That was the main focus of the project, to allow residents to reconnect with the river away from cars and toxic air and smog,
@@LeafofLifeWorld
Think what they are saying is that they could have foregone the tunnel entirely instead of being so car-centric. Many 'alternative' YT urban planning channels criticize cities that emphasize grey (concrete and asphalt) over green/greener alternatives, such as bioswales, curb cuts, trains and bike paths etc.
@@LeafofLifeWorldwatch not just bikes channel
I don't think the scale of the size of Madrid is understood. The population density is massive and this underway is vital for comunication and basic supplies to the area. Density 5,300 people /km2 (14,000/sq mi). And it has several forests within this area, so it is actually more packed.
They also build storm water reservoires alonside with the buried roads. All part of the revitalization of the river. czcams.com/video/EeS_vyx-GzQ/video.html&ab_channel=CanaldeIsabelII
And the public transport sistem is huge. I've never had a car or even a drivers license.
But something is true and it is that it has a lot of hills that make only bike transport impossible but for the fittest. Amsterdam, London, Paris etc are flat and biking is way easier.
The last mayor put an electric cityshare service but it has been intentionaly left in disrepair so private Motorized scooter companies can flourish.
They should plant Coastal Redwoods like they do in California’s Central Valley these trees do well in Mediterranean climate another good tree would be the Arizona cypress or the Picea Chihuahuana 🌲 🌳 ⛰
Excellent video. Thank you very much. Hats off. Urban riparian corridor restoration is a major logistical and political (notice I did not say it was not practical! = )) nightmare. Property rights and labyrinthine/outdated/inane water laws are so disconnected from the needs of our current reality. Entire riparian ecologies can be left to deflate through lack of "productive turnover. or over the protection of singular species at times. Glad to have seen some recent movements in making positive change and the people of the community of Madrid featured, give hope.
Think part of the problem is the religious adherence to grey (aka concrete/asphalt) infrastructure. Much of it could be bypassed by being clever. Think property rights are okay and protective but much of the zoning and banking practices are what are leading to the huge inequities and a reappearance of serfdom...
@@b_uppy Absolutely. Point taken on property rights. Property is one of the few ways to break intergenerational deadbolts in improving quality of individual lives and thereby communities. Agree with the serfdom observation. Grateful for the conversation!
Check AMUNAS. A water preservation system in the Mountains of Peru. It comes from the Incas. Greeting from Lima, Peru
Sounds interesting.
You should do a bit more research. The ruling party opposed a proposition to limit car traffic flow into the city center, though later they just rebranded it; Madrid also notoriously opposed the energy saving restrictions coming from the central government and challenged it in the courts; back in the day, municipal authorities were caught placing smog detectors in parks so as to provide false pollution statistics. I live in Madrid and I love it here, but Madrid Rio does not make the city or its ruling party environmentally friendly.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Y Madrid 360 que es? Y Madrid rio lo construyo un alcalde del pp para tu conocimiento.
Lesftist offended in 3,2,1…
@@houstonFGC como se nota que el inglés no es lo tuyo. Efectivamente, Madrid 360 es una limitación al tráfico en el centro de la ciudad. Lo gracioso es que cuando Carmena fue alcaldesa y estableció la política y su reglamento, el PP lo atacó cada vez que pudo y luego decidió que la idea era buena y le cambió el nombre para evitarse la sanción de la UE. Ah y Madrid Rio sí lo construyo un alcaldel del PP, y le dejó tremenda deuda que luego se "subsanó" con la venta de vivienda pública. Me perdí de algo? Hablamos de cuando los alcaldes del PP escondían los medidores en los parques? Hablamos de como Madrid estuvo entre las ciudades con los cielos más contaminados este último verano? Hablamos de como desde Madrid se llevó a las cortes la política de ahorro de energía porque "traería miseria"?
@@sc340 I'm glad my answer got you laughing :)
PORTUGUESE BR?
So the did not remove the highway they just buried the highway... I wonder what will happen if a major earthquake hits Madrid? Will the buried highway become a major death scene?
There are alot of buried buildings, lots of shopping malls have basements, there are train tunnels and car tunnels all over the world, why would you think this one is going to become a major death scene? Spain does have strict building regulations aswell, and the earthquakes that are measured in spain are mostly very light at the moment on active in the south of Spain.
@Leaf of Life
Lisbon, Portugal had a huge tsunami disaster in the 1600s and Madrid, Spain is also very vulnerable. Spain could easily experience a earthquake with a tsunami that reaches six meters.
Think it was a silly, car centric move to create a car tunnel. Rail would make more sense...
@@LeafofLifeWorld I used to live in California I saw horrors there after major earthquakes hit urban areas.
@@b_uppy Madrid is 600m. high, almost surrounded by mountains and 400km. from the nearest ocean. No there will NOT be a tsunami washing away the city any time soon. Earthquakes are also extremely rare and weak in the whole of Spain.
It would have been nicer if they made 1 side a flood plain that they could have been used for parkland. Instead, its still within a channel. Better than nothing I guess.
Esa obra afecta al tramo urbano del río, que viene de atravesar un parque de más de 15.800 hectáreas(Monte de El Pardo) y está a escasos metros tiene otro de más de 1.700 hectáreas(Casa de Campo).
Claro que hubiera sido mejor tener más amplitud, pero está en medio de un área urbana de unos 7 millones de habitantes y se tienen otras servidumbres.
@@antonioalcazar5749 Thanks, so you are saying that upstream there are open areas that this river flows through? If there are other areas where people can enjoy a more natural river then all is good. BTW I'm near Los Angeles California so if you want to see a river that is really non natural, look up the Los Angeles river. Its all strictly for flood control since LA gets very little rain. Every 30 years or so LA will get 3 or 4 times normal rain and it all runs off to the ocean.
This is by far one of my fave channels
Of course it looks nicer on the surface. But the traffic hasn't magically disappeared. It has simply moved underground to even wider highways. Out of sight, out of mind. But the traffic jams and chaos have remained. Just like the Big Dig in Boston just added more underground lanes, but attracted even more traffic resulting in traffic jams but now underground ...
No more concrete jungles positive vibes Hawaiian lifestyle
Also restore the Amazon?
Spain has so many deforested areas they need to replant trees and they have the money to do it. there are so many areas that have been stripped of forest on the Iberian Peninsula if they'd replanted all the deforested areas they'd probably get more rainy days to cool their cities down.
Walter Jehne proposes creating frequent, very localized rainwater harvesting earthworks to support regreening. These could be made with onsite materials. The regreening needs to include trees to assist in soil rebuilding as that is what will correct more problems with Madrid's environmental degradation. Mark Shepard's techniques of adapting farming methods to mimic local biomes would be a clever strategy that increases food/livestock feed production while restoring soil, and habitat for wildlife.
España es el segundo país de Europa con más masa forestal.
Solo Suecia tiene más bosques.
¿ Que hay que seguir reforestando?, sí, pero eso de que es casi un desierto es una idea equivocada.
Someone who says that really does not know Spain
España es el tercer país de toda Europa con mayor superficie forestal.
Con más de 26.000.000 de hectáreas que, además, se han incrementado un 1,2% en los últimos 15 años, según el 'Perfil Ambiental' del Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica, el país es una de las principales reservas forestales del continente .
Madrid está situada en la zona de clima continental de Península Ibérica: lo propio de dicho clima son los inviernos muy fríos y los veranos muy calurosos.
España es el segundo país con más masa forestal de Europa. Somos un auténtico santuario de árboles, bosques y fauna. El problema es que está mal distribuida, en muchas zonas no hay apenas masa arbórea mientras que en otras está llena.
Ive lived in Madrid for most of my life. Until the pandemic the city was dreadfully polluted with smog and had been like that for decades. Local government basically called the population stupid by denying the existence of "la boina ".Unfortunately, there has been a certain return to that situation with the increasing traffic and insufficient public transport which doesnt encourage people to use it in spite of the reduction by half in cost of the monthly transport pass
You look hot, I would love to visit this spot when in Madrid, hydrate.
😆 yea it was quite hot! I had my water bottle but staying hydrated was difficult, you feel thirsty all the time 😅
@@LeafofLifeWorld Bet you did
If you are planning on visiting Madrid, id suggest come in spring or autumn. Summer months are hot, and almost everything are close because people like to go to the beach. Winters can get very cold and wet.
Ces vidéos de reverdurisation me déçoivent souvent, la réalité perforante et imperméabilisante encore plus.
Bicycles, ebikes, electric cargo bicycles, robo taxis and escooters are great options for last mile, short distance travel.
Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles by providing SAFE, PROTECTED BIKE LANES and trails. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Bicycles are healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. Electric bicycles are bringing many older adults back to cycling. Ride to work, ride to school, ride for health or ride for fun. Children should be able to ride a bicycle to school without having to dodge cars and trucks. Separated and protected bike lanes are required. It will also make the roads safer for automobile drivers. Transportation planners and elected officials need to encourage people to walk, bike and take public transportation. Healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. In the future cities will be redesigned for people not cars. Crazy big parking lots will be transformed.
More rail is crucial to the 'last mile' strategy. It increases accessibility to a larger area making the whole strayegy much more practical.
I've yet to see spots for bikes/trikes/quads on trains though I think it would add to flexibility/viability to the system.
Think ebikes are adding accessibility to disabled people as well. Think bike paths that offer shorter routes than those offered by vehicles would be a strategic move...
Leaf of Life, I really love what you do, but please consider that it is against the Christian religion to see half naked women ie. women in those indecent swim suits that you showed here. Jesus Christ says that if a person has looked at a man or woman with sexual thoughts then they have committed adultery in their heart and He says that it isn’t good for a man or a woman to see someone’s erogenous zones if they aren’t married to that person, save medical or emergency scenarios. That said, I hope you will consider people like me who love their wives and avoid putting images of half naked women in your docs, because you are doing a wonderful and important job here and I really hope to keep watching these.
Those women can wear shorts and tops that cover their breasts more, that would be good and they would look like wiser women, the way you look in this video due to your shorts being an appropriate length. . Thank you for that.
I’m so thankful to see what Madrid is doing. I hope I can be part of the effort to make cities more environmentally responsible and more comfortable as well. I think they should plant vines along the sides of buildings and I think they should attach planters to the sides of buildings wherein trees or shrubs can filter and catch rain water. Also, I hope they plant Sycamore trees along the river, or trees like them that filter and store tons of water, this would be very good. Praise God for Madrid’s efforts!
Hope to see more cities doing this.
Thank you
Hi there, I think you are asking the wrong the people to change, there is not much we can do about your issue with skin. Spain is culturally very liberal and it is acceptable to be nude on the beach. You will have to talk with officials in Spain if you want this to change. All the best to you
Who wrote this rubbish? Or rather, who paid for it?
Thanks to the Left of Manuela Carmena!
You are rude about my country
How?
Boston, MA removed a big monster 👹 elevated highway 🛣 and rebuilt it underground. The area where the highway 🛣 split the city 🏙 in two has now been used to build parks and plazas. What Boston did is often known to locals as “The Big Dig”. You can find out more about this here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Dig
Yeah, pretty similar to this project, only that the M-30 dig was done much faster and with a much smaller budget (even though the tunnels are longer).
@@alfrredd I do not know how much the cost of the Boston project was but the cost of Madrid's was not the few hundred million mentioned in the video but no less than 6.000 million euros, at a time the euro had significantly more value than the US dollar.
@@jmtrevijano9160 Boston's price tag is 22 Billion USD for 2.4km of tunnel. (11 billion per km) , the are still paying interest (until 2038). Madrid tunnels are 10km per section (20km. both ways) at a cost of 8 billion Euro (400 million per km).
@@alfrredd Someone is earning a lot of money in Boston.
