Project One: Urban Geography
Comparing liveability for families with dogs in different
neighborhoods.
This is our second post. We are going to present the
methodology chosen to decide which of the three neighborhoods proposed is more
appropriate or complete for families with dogs: Marroquina (District of Moratalaz), Recoletos (District of
Salamanca) and Ciudad Universitaria (Francos Rodríguez).
1.
Factors who make a neighborhood suitable or not for
families with dogs:
·
Healthcare
of dogs
·
Leisure
time of dogs
·
Dog
allowance on public places

We have
also checked the Madrid city ordinance about pet owning: http://www.madridsalud.es/salud_publica/servicios_veterinarios/pdfs/omrtpanimales.pdf and we found some interesting issues about the how
the owner must ensure that the pet behaves properly outside the house,
what time of the day the dogs can run
free in the parks, etc.
