Caer y levantarse: como la ciudad de Madrid ha afrontado el COVID-19 de acuerdo con los datos de libre reutilización = Falling and getting up: how the city of Madrid has coped with COVID-19 according to free reuse data

The COVID-19 health emergency has significantly altered spatial dynamics from the global to the local scale, and the potential relevance of urban density as a risk factor has been raised in the public debate. This article analyses how monthly indicators have changed in the 21 Districts of the city of Madrid during the emergency. The case is relevant due to its size and diversity, as well as due to its unusual open data availability. The correlation between built density and illness incidence has not been relevant, although in a certain moment average home sizes and overcrowding was probably relevant. The mobility scenario shows interesting trends, which could be related to a generalization of telecommuting. The data used have allowed an evaluation of the ability of the current open data systems to integrate in an urban digital twin oriented towards a sustainable city management.
