The San Pablo CEU University students who won the “Innovation Week” competition visited the “Reforma Plaza España” project in Madrid, executed by FCC Construcción. MWCC was in charge of organizing or coordinating the visit, participating as a member of the “Innovation week” jury.

The remodeling of the Plaza de España has been designed by the architects Fernando Porras Isla-Fernández, Aranzazu La Casta Muñoa and Lorenzo Fernández-Ordóñez Hernández, whose project was the winner of the ideas competition convened by the City Council after being selected as a finalist by a jury of experts and later chosen by the citizens of the capital “through a broad process of participation.”

The project will reduce motorized road traffic, thus increasing pedestrian spaces and establishing a continuous line of pedestrianization and green areas, thus connecting the gardens of the Plaza de Oriente with the Sabatini gardens, the Parque del Oeste and the Temple of Debod and Madrid Río.

In addition, a pioneering pedestrian crossing in Spain will be created between Gran Vía, Calle de la Princesa and Calle de los Reyes, as it will allow pedestrians to travel simultaneously in all directions and even diagonally.
