Madrid Central is a low-emission zone located in the center of Madrid. It was inaugurated on November 30, 2018. It is aimed at reducing pollution from traffic. There is little industry in the center of the city, and vehicular traffic has been responsible for a significant proportion of emissions there.[1]
Madrid Central was not Spain's first low-emission zone,[2] because Pontevedra had effectively created such a zone by pedestrianising much of its city center. Barcelona announced the implementation of a low emission zone from the beginning of 2020.
