Complete Project

Have you ever thought about having children in a future? During these minutes I want you to imagine that this girl is your daughter.

I suppose that you would like the best things for your daughter, and we ask you a question, which do you think is the best neighborhood to live with your daughter? With this project we are going to give you the solution!

Let’s explain how we made this project. Firstly, we invented a model of family to choose wich neighborhood would be the best for them. Our family is formed by a couple and two kids of 4 and 6 years old, and they’re around 1500 euros each month.

Secondly, we had to choose three different neighborhoods of Madrid to find out which one is the best for our family. We choose Goya, from Salamanca district, this neighborhood is situated in the centre of Madrid and it belongs to a commercial zone. Then, Francos Rodriguez, it belongs to Moncloa-Aravaca district.

And the last neighborhood we choose was Alameda, whose district is Barajas, and is in the Norwest of Madrid.

We have made a model of neighborhood to find the best to this type of family

As factors and indicators, we choose these: 

*Education: for us is the most important factor to choose a neighborhood, we have given 35% of importance with a maximum of 15 centers including schools, libraries, academies… . We have taken into account the number of schools and academies of each area.

*Transport: related with mobility, is the second one more important. If a neighborhood has good communication, the family won’t have problems to move on public transport. We consider that it has a 20% of importance The maximum is 15 lines between metro and bus.

Because of we consider the transport a very important factor (apart from education), the rest of them will have less importance.

*Entertainment (parks, cinemas, restaurants…) has an importance of  12%  with a maximum of 3 centers.

*Feeding (taking into account markets and supermarkets in each area) 15% with a maximum of 15 centers.

*Healthcare (hospitals and pharmacies) 10% with a maximum of 2 centers.

*Cost of living (price of rent a flat) 8% with a maximum of 700 € each month

We have count the number of centers of each factor in the three neighborhoods, so we could compare them we our ideal neighborhood to choose the best one. Those are the results:

   

FACTORS/ NEIGHBORHOODS	GOYA	FR	ALAMEDA
EDUCATION	35%	116.7%	16%
Communication-Transport	9,33%	17%	10.6%
Feeding	33%	100%	8%
Health	135%	116.7%	10%
Leisure	56%	24%	8%
COST OF LIVING	14,12%	6.6%	5.6%
TOTAL	282.45%	264.3%	58,2%

To sum up,

We have seen that there are a lot of differences between these neighborhoods.

As a conclusion we think that the best neighborhood for this family is Alameda de Osuna.

It’s a little bit far from the city center but it has a very good communication. This family will can go to ever they want by car, underground or bus.

The cost of the rent of Alameda de Osuna is cheaper than in the other neighborhoods, so it’s a very important thing.
