From Rail Infrastructure to Civic Destination: The Open Ecosystem of Madrid Chamartín
Despite serving as gateways to cities, decades of treating railway stations as purely infrastructural structures have rendered them impenetrable barriers within the urban fabric, carving deep scars that fragment neighborhoods, generate dead zones, and create severe congestion. In recent years cities worldwide have begun to confront this challenge. Madrid’s Chamartín-Clara Campoamor station stands as one of Europe’s most comprehensive urban transformations, integrating major rail infrastructure, new public space, and vertical development into a single coherent metropolitan vision.
This webinar explores how Madrid Nuevo Norte and the redevelopment of Chamartín station transform a historic urban divide into a new center for Madrid, reconnecting and creating neighborhoods, expanding the city’s green infrastructure, and redefining the station as not merely a point of transit, but a civic destination. Bringing together designers, engineers, clients and the City of Madrid, the discussion examines how density, mobility, identity and public realm can collectively shape a sustainable new urban heart in the north of the city.
Het webinar vindt plaats op dinsdag 14 april van 16:00 -17:30 uur.
Iedereen kan gratis aan het webinar deelnemen. Registratie via >>>
