Remaking Madrid is the first full-length study of Madrid's
transformation from the dreary home of the Franco dictatorship into
a modern and vibrant city. It argues that this remarkable
transformation in the 1980s helped secure Spain's fragile
transition to democracy and that the transformation itself was
primarily a product of "regionalism"-even though the capital is
typically associated with "Spanishness" and with "the nation." The
official project to distance Madrid from its dictatorial past
included urban renewal and administrative reform; but, above all,
it involved greater cultural participation, which led the revival
of the capital's public festivals and the development of a modern
cultural outpouring known as the movida madrilena. The book also
explains the ultimate failure of regionalism in the capital by the
end of the 1980s and asks whether or not Madrid's inclusive form of
"civic" identity might have served as a model for the country as a
whole.
