Description
Summary:The authors recall the genesis of the term of “sustainable development” and its complex evolution over the past decades until its contemporary meaning covering humans and their economy and culture, the natural environment, and the cultural landscape. The examples analysed in the text are two municipalities in the New Castile Community of Madrid (Spain) and their capitals: El Chinchón and Colmenar de Oreja, which are hidden in the shadow of Madrid and have been declining until recent times. Over the past several years, they and their surroundings have been experiencing a period of peaceful and harmonious development, which can be associated with sustainable development.
