In 1561，King Philip of Spain made the decision to move the capital to Madrid，which had a significant impact on the city's environment that is still felt today.Some suggest that the move was motivated by a desire for a healthier environment for his wife，as well as Madrid's closeness to the Manzanares River.However，the removal of the surrounding woodlands to support the royal court exposed the city to severe weather，leading to the saying "nine months of winter and three of hell".
Today，Madrid continues to struggle with environmental problems，such as pollution from a large number of vehicles that enter the city each day.To battle with this issue，Madrid's city planners are constructing a 75-kilometer-long Metropolitan Forest，which is one of the most ambitious initiatives of its kind in Europe.This forest will consist of 1.5 million trees of species native to Madrid，along with eco-friendly bridges and recreational centers.Additionally，a 23-kilometer-long Forest Avenue for cyclists and pedestrians will connect the new forest with existing parks，schools，offices，and the airport.In 20 years，the Metropolitan Forest should be able to remove more than 800，000 tonnes of CO
2 from the city's atmosphere.
The idea for the forest was born in 2019 when Madrid councilors for urban development asked the children what kind of Madrid they would like to see in 2040.The dominating response was a "green city"，which motivated the city council to plan seriously.The city council has been aware of Madrid's environmental problems since the 1990s，but it wasn't until 2019，when a survey revealed that over 40 percent of the citizens cited the environment as the city's number one problem that they decided to take action.
The Metropolitan Forest project represents a significant investment in Madrid's future，demonstrating how a willingness to listen to the next generation's ideas and the public's concerns can lead to positive change.
