From next week will be released my book "A Walk in the Linear City" in which made an extensive tour of the most important buildings of the late Arturo Soria Ciudad Lineal.
sure many know "Ciudad Lineal and its surroundings, but may be very few who remember "La Ciudad Lineal." A more accurate title for this work might have been "Rescuing the Lost City" because it really is a long archaeological work, carried out in libraries and newspaper archives. The Arturo Soria's Linear City was born as the dream of a thinker, a man ahead of his time to it closed many doors, but thanks to his perseverance, he managed to make his most awaited project, "urbanize the countryside and the city ruralise ". What began as an ideal in which convivirían rich and poor, it has become the most important and healthy development of the early twentieth century, in which many important people purchased their farm baptizing in a hotel or villa. This city will take a walk through which to analyze some of the most important buildings: the theater, amusement park, the bullring, CEA studies, the power plant or sports field used as a makeshift airfield. Tracing its history and its protagonists, until the present day, all accompanied by many drawings and pictures, some so far unpublished, to help us go fitting the pieces of this puzzle.
