The south watershed of the Manzanares river in Madrid is experiencing an environmental restoration process linked to the Parque Lineal project. This Strategic Planning represents a substantial improvement in the quality of life of the Villaverde’s citizens near the river park. However, these improvements are not fulfilling the neighbor’s feeling of institutional abandonment, especially by residents of inner neighborhoods. This population is away from the improvements that are experienced as for the regeneration of the Manzanares river. This paper identifies the main problems related to accessibility, usability, and health of the Linear Park. And the actions necessary to achieve a comprehensive strategic proposal that favors the consolidation of the district through backbone elements that facilitate the mobility and usability relations between the interior areas and the environmental restoration of the Manzanares river.
