Metrominuto

Detailed information of municipalities of the Community with relevant points for walking

METROMINUTE ICON The format Metrominuto aims to demystify the time it usually takes to walk on the most common journeys, also using an iconography based on the Metro plans of large cities.

This workshop is inspired by the Metrominute Project, created and registered for public use by the 'Concello de Pontevedra', whose philosophy is the promotion of walking to mitigate the abuse of the car in the urban environment (consult Metrominute projects from other cities).

In the case of Madrid Active Region, it is based on the need to publicize the map of sports resources of the municipalities, together with the fact of trying to persuade about the need to walk, not only as an alternative to the abusive use of the media transport but as a proposal for healthy physical activity.

Objectives

Promote active mobility within the municipality.
Promote walking as a proposal for healthy physical activity in the urban environment.
Internalize active mobility as a useful element to reduce sedentary lifestyle and break with prolonged periods of inactivity.
Make known the existing resources in the environment where you can do physical activity and sports.
Provide information and experiences that minimize the fear of leaving limited environments.

Also, if you want to make your own Metrominute map, you can follow the detailed steps that appear in the downloadable file “Metrominute instructions” .

You can use this methodology to carry out didactic units in the school environment or to develop complementary activities in your professional field, since one of the main values associated with this initiative is the possibility of involving certain groups in the preparation of the map in question.

Below we offer you some alternatives of Metrominute plans prepared by municipalities of the Community of Madrid. In addition, you can also download the plans to print them and be able to follow them comfortably.
