"A space for the construction of collective urban project in Madrid through citizen participation." From COAM is raised that architects can and should take an active role in the process of reflection and change, to make Madrid a better city.

In order to achieve this, COAM has decided to promote and lead the creation of MADRID THINK TANK, a space in which the participation of companies, governments, institutions and individuals contribute to construct our collective urban project for Madrid, improving the position of the city and its territory in a globalized world while provide the highest quality of life for its inhabitants.

Against the classic structure of the "Think Tanks", closed organizations, the MADRID THINK TANK proposes a process of collective participation that canalize the latent thought of society. They are people, companies, institutions and organizations; both locals and those who wish to join to this project, those who will determine their own future project. The participation process is organized in two phases: an INITIAL PHASE of reflection that ends in Madrid WEEK, stating the challenges which activate the IDEAS PHASE where citizenship will contain its proposals and it will be convened contests.

The topic starter is MADRID 2020 and it's focused on 10 areas of action:

1. Madrid Global City. Madrid, City of America. EL PRADO DESHABITADO.
2. Economic activity. More Madrid / Madrid Tourism / Entrepreneurs. NOMAD project.
