If Amadeo or the Republican Party had not performed so poorly, the history of Spain would have been completely rewritten.
On December 2, 1872, Jovellar Soler resubmitted a proposal to the Spanish Parliament, including the extensive construction of affordable housing in Madrid, with plans to save some expenses through rent collection, aiming to reform Madrid's slums at a lower cost.
Additionally, the proposal included measures to encourage residents from the slums to work in factories on the outskirts of Madrid, aiming to effectively increase their actual income, thus minimizing the impact of slum reforms.
Although the new industrial district was being built in Barcelona, Madrid itself also had industrial zones. However, Madrid's industry was more scattered, with factories found throughout the suburbs, making its overall industrial scale even higher than that of Barcelona.
