Trees of discord

The mayor of Madrid, Alberto Ruiz-Gallardon, decided on Monday, May 8 to suspend the redevelopment project for the Paseo del Prado. He wants to initiate a dialogue with those opposed to the project, which critics say would threaten several hundred-year-old trees. In a commentary, one of the project's planners, the Spanish architect Juan Miguel Hernández León, denounces "the Pavlovian reflex triggered by the word tree. ... Over the past four years, about a hundred trees on the Paseo have died due to environmental conditions and the road surface has enormously deteriorated. It is harder to 'see' the forest than to look at it. This superficial perception is typical of the metropolitan consciousness that does not distinguish details and, in this case, does not perceive the state of neglect into which the Recoletos-Prado axis has fallen."
