El Campo de Cebada (The Barley Field) is an open neighbourhood association that actively shaped the (temporary) use of a lot left empty after the demolition of the former public pool of La Latina, a neighbourhood in the centre of Madrid. El Campo de Cebada (ECDC) formed in 2009 to revive the lot by organising multiple social and cultural activities. A major claim of the initiative was to establish a dialogue between citizens and city administration in order to explore the potentials of community-driven approaches for a socially sustainable urban planning. The current city government (Ahora Madrid) pledged to build a multi-use sports hall on the lot, which would be inaugurated in spring 2019 and would then ideally be co-managed by public administration and the neighbours.
