The railway has been a key element in Madrid’s development. It did away with its isolation as a city in the center of a country without navigable waterways and a poor road network. It boosted industrial activity, by making it possible to easily commodities. It was also the reason behind the location that activity, which was tied to the railway stations and railways. It has always influenced the shape of the urban structure; key to the realization of the first urban expansion plan. The railway stations have affected the environment, creating districts marked by the railway business and attracting other activities, transforming urban planning, promoting growth in some cases and slowing it down in others. They have created areas of relationship and activity within the city. In recent years, the disappearance and transformation of the rail infrastructure has generated new urban spaces of great interest, with several unparalleled urban operations.
