Summary

The processes and dynamics of social and territorial margination of determined neighbourhoods start during Franco´s regime, and are now aggravated with demand of new needs of extra-communitary immigrants. The daily life of these neighbourhoods is altered, making new identities visible and public, and it is in the public spaces where this diversity and heterogeneity is more palpable. It is also where the competition for a scarce resource, like many others, develops. This motion attempts to analyse the use and appropriation of the public spaces within a context of urban deterioration and of deterioration of social and relational life in a concrete neighbourhood, that of Ca n´Anglada in Terrassa, in the metropolitan region of Barcelona.
