History


Its name, Linear City, comes from the model of organization by the Spanish architect Arturo Soria y Mata, the linear city, based on the idea of the line. The ‘Ciudad Lineal’ takes a form of a city 400 meters wide, centered on a tramway (line 70 - closed in 1972) and a thoroughfare running in parallel. The main street in the district has his name, calle de Arturo Soria. The city is the current headquarters for the flag carrier of Spain, Iberia.[1] Mariano Belmás Estrada was one of the main architects in the early days.[2]
