With the return of democracy to Spain in the late 1970s and the development of autonomous regional governments, more emphasis has been placed on local consultation and issues such as the future of the environment. In 1982 the city administration carried out a massive public opinion survey to find out what people really wanted at the neighbourhood level. The resulting General Ordinance Plan (Plan General de Ordenación) attempted to establish a long-term, full-scale scheme for future directed growth, aiming not only to modernize the infrastructure of essential services but also to improve the quality of life in the city. Local administration is under the direction of a mayor and city council, elected every four years.
Despite the introduction of the autonomous regions, Madrid continues to be the focus of Spain’s government. It is also a bishopric, headquarters of the army corps, and residence of the captain general of the first military region. Moreover, the Supreme Court and government ministries are located there, as is the Cortes Generales (the Spanish parliament), which is housed in a 19th-century Neoclassical building. Characterized by the bronze lions (made from melted down Moorish cannon) flanking the entrance, it is one of the smallest parliament buildings in Europe.
