Wards edit

The district is administratively divided into nine wards:

Its name, Linear City, comes from the model of organization by the Spanish architect Arturo Soria y Mata, the linear city, based on the idea of the line. The ‘Ciudad Lineal’ takes a form of a city 400 meters wide, centered on a tramway (line 70 - closed in 1972) and a thoroughfare running in parallel. The main street in the district has his name, calle de Arturo Soria. The city is the current headquarters for the flag carrier airline of Spain, Iberia.^[1] Mariano Belmás Estrada was one of the main architects in the early days.^[2]
