If Madrid is notorious for its dirty, chaotic image, it's also a blow to Spain's own immigration efforts.
Barcelona is still temporarily the territory of the Catalans, and the government should not carry out large-scale reforms there. Currently, Madrid is the most suitable city for reform, and if successful, it can be promoted nationwide; if unsuccessful, it would not have too great an impact.
On November 30, 1872, a member of parliament submitted a bill to the Spanish Parliament regarding the reorganization of order in Madrid's city districts, sparking a heated debate throughout the assembly.
The reason for the heated discussion was the scope of reorganization, which included most of the peripheral areas of Madrid, with a large number of slums and lower-class Spaniards, at least tens of thousands of people.
Reorganizing these slums also means providing new accommodation for these tens of thousands of people, otherwise chaos would surely ensue.
