Ecosystem Vulnerability according to Planning (VEP, in Spanish) seeks to value the role of ecosystem services for the
maintenance and strengthening of our cities through the identification of ecosystems, their valuation, and consideration from
planning itself. This research is a methodological adaptation of a European project that seeks to map ecosystems and the
pressures these receive, through a proposal from the European Environment Agency. Thanks to this, policies should be
established to reduce these pressures on the natural environment or to avoid exceeding critical levels with resulting changes in
its level of resilience. The consideration of planning as another pressure factor means seeing a new risk for these ecosystems
that, although it had not been contemplated until now, is greatly relevant in our context. In this sense, it is necessary to increase
the scale of work and to have the growth forecasts and existing land protections, whose information at an international level
would be very difficult to homogenize and obtain. Thus, this methodological proposal focuses specifically on the Community of
Madrid, Spain, to identify the pressures contemplated by the European methodology, and to add a new variable that alters the
risk of losing these spaces. The case study poses important challenges due to the high urban pressure there is, but exemplifies
the problems of ecosystems in the area analyzed, identifying the spaces with less joint resilience on facing these changes, due to
their predisposition to urbanization.
