  • Spain is building an $8.7 billion USD new urban development in northern Madrid, called Madrid Nuevo Norte. Madrid is the heart of Spain. However, in its north, train tracks and the urban void surrounding them cut the city right in half, creating traffic and connectivity issues. To solve this issue, Spain is building a new urban development with sparkling skyscrapers and affordable housing on the land. It will host the tallest building in Spain, countless office buildings, world-class infrastructure, and 10,500 new housing units. The project, called Madrid Nuevo Norte, is planned to boost Madrid’s GDP by 18.3 billion euros and help alleviate the city’s housing shortage. However, it also does come with some controversy. Some criticize it as a private, profit-motivated scheme that will increase Madrid’s income gap. In addition, some are unhappy with the construction the project will bring. Nevertheless, it is advancing quickly and construction is set to begin in late-2021.

      The "real budget" is st that does not affect the people of Madrid, but the private companies that are involved. If they spend more, less or whatever, that will be their share holders problem.

      It'll probably inflate somewhat, but Spain is actually surprisingly good at keeping infrastructure costs in check. So I'd say more like 10bn.
      As an example of this: Spain's *entire* Highspeed rail network (which at present connects Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla, and Zaragoza along with minor cities in the middle) has cost less than the 1 line they are still building in California.

There are a lot of issues to solve here before that, in my opinion. Also, Madrid's modern prosperity should be measured in other indicators, like social equality, green environment, commuting habits, and a large etc of things that actually improve our peoples life. Who cares about how it's seen overseas, tbh, if you are going to look into the height of the buidilngs itself. For hyperdense cities like NYC, or Hong Kong, this typology of building is useful. But, in my opinion, Madrid should focus on other kinds of urban development more of its own.

A more iconic city will attract more investment from other industries that never took position in Spain because they prefer London, Paris or Frankfurt. Just look at Poland in just 20 years pass from being a poor excommunist country to a impressive economic point in Europe with high standards and in future will surpass half of Europe on importance. People don't want subventions money while they have unemployment for years because that make them dependent of the state and unproductive people. People want an actual job that make them independent to make their life free without any burocracy and market freedom so people could start their own business easy like in Estonia or Ireland.

Neighborhood associations representing around 90% of the neighbors of the region, have been involved in the project from the start. Their claims and requests have been taken under consideration at all points. That is why this project has such a strong citizen support and the main reason why the government of Manuela Carmena ended up supporting this project even though they were against it at first. As of this moment, and as far as I know, no neighbors are expected to be evicted or removed from their houses against their will. The majority of existing buildings will be renovated and most new constructions will be done on empty land (of which there is plenty) and over covered rail tracks. This is the theory, we will see what happens in the future. I hope this helped!

      @PresidentialWinner Před 2 lety +29

      Of course it's true. It's true in every developed nation from the US to Japan, every country in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and even China. Taiwan and Singapore have the lowest birth rates, less than half of the ratio that is needed to sustain a population. Every nation will follow suit, but Africa will be last, and due to this whole thing the global population will stop at 10-11 billion, eventually likely decreasing fast. This will cause the collapse of civilization as we know it but long before that we will see the effects of the dual problems of an aging population but with less young people. With so few tax paying, working-age people paying for the welfare and retirement programs, the ponzi scheme will fail, unless of course we increase the age of retirement, which of course we will. So the age of retirement will be in the late 70s or even later, almost no one will get pension because most people will die long before that age. But do not worry robotics and automation will make most of these worries obsolete. We will create robots who take care of our elderly, and do our jobs for us.

Whether this is a problem depends on a few things that mostly have to do with values and culture, not ethnicity or religion (although religion of course is important when considering values and culture) So you can alleviate the problem by bringing in more people from the outside. Even if you ignore the demographics and the societal strains and issues, the immigrant populations that you bring in will eventually have low birth rates as well so that is not going to solve the problem. And like i mentioned eventually every country will face this issue of low birthrates.

Time is short as they need to really ramp it up before other nations with more investment capacity overtakes it. Huge infra projects like these in western europe(with its high labour costs and post covid supply shortages) are almost always a money pit which require absurd amount of time and money to become sustainable.

Tú no puedes forzar la expansión. Los rascacielos se construyen conforme aparecen empresas que los solicitan, los edificios de lujo aparecen cuando hay demanda. No se hace la casa por el tejado. Naturalmente países como china, superpoblados e hiperproductivos NECESITAN rascacielos. Pero si madrid hiciera este proyecto sin más, adelántandose al crecimiento natural y a la demanda, el proyecto podría tardar fácilmente 7 años.

      Yeah. Madrid's economy, unlike other areas in Spain, grows steadily.

    The video is fairly great. Also, if you're trying to pronounce toponyms the Spanish way it's not MadRRRid, but just Madrid. Spanish RRR is only used at the words' beginning, not in the middle.
