There are not many cases in which an urban movement, rising from the bottom up, manages to achieve its objectives through a continuous, creative and diverse struggle, with the complicity and support of many residents. The decision of illegally changing the use of a public park into a golf course materialized in the creation of the association Parque Sí en Chamberí, which, in time, used all the means at its disposal (legal, participatory, cultural, support in the street) to topple this decision and, in the meantime, created a social associative network which strengthened the district’s social capital.
在许多居民的共谋和支持下,自下而上的城市运动通过持续的、创造性的和多样化的斗争来实现其目标的案例并不多见。非法将公共公园的用途改为高尔夫球场的决定,通过创建协会Parque Sí en Chamberí得以实现,该协会及时利用其掌握的所有手段(法律,参与,文化,街头支持)推翻了这一决定,同时创建了一个社会联系网络,加强了该地区的社会资本。

Green spaces are protagonists in the new way of conceiving public space, where the collective actions undertaken by social organizations use natural benefits as a source of unlimited resources that improve their quality of life. In this context, public green spaces are in a favorable setting for the development of local activities. However, in the South of Quito, the logic of the State is opposed to the recovery of green areas as triggers of urban life, prioritizing the construction of massive houses and facilities before the recovery of streams and forests that are characteristic elements of the topography from the city. Here the categories of collective actions undertaken by the Alianza Solidaria Housing Cooperative in the recovery of Quebrada Ortega were analyzed and determined. Interviews, photographic archives, semiotic analysis and surveys were the techniques used to feed a mixed analysis methodology. As a result, we find that community participation and self-management are decisive collective actions in the appropriation of public spaces. Finally, the role of women becomes an essential element for executing the processes to improve the quality of life of the community.

Since the 2000s, the City of Buenos Aires (Argentina) has implemented the Housing Self-Management Program (PAV), which promotes self-managed habitat production through the granting of collective loans to grassroots social organizations. The existing housing cooperative bank allows us to reflect on the self-managed forms used by the organizations and their impact on the neighborhood relationships built in the stage of living in the dwellings. From the deployment of a qualitative methodology, various primary sources of information produced in different research stages were recovered and analyzed from an approach that seeks to contribute to the current debates of the self-managed production of popular habitat. Among the results obtained, it was possible to verify that the forms assumed by the self-management process in the housing production stage have impacts on the base conditions for the construction of neighborhood associations typical of living.

The notion —clearly inspired by Lefebvre— according to which public works have per se a coercive character that curtails the inhabitants’ right to the city, should not be applied when evaluating certain infrastructures which actually improve the livability of the urban space, such as those promoting urban cycling. Considering this possible error, it is necessary to examine the repeated exceptions that Lefebvre himself enunciates throughout his work when he characterizes some types of urban intervention that, when fulfilling certain conditions, contribute to the resignification and reappropiation of urban space. We here pursue not only to enumerate these notes by Lefebvre, but to illustrate them taking as a model an urban intervention of great repercussion such as the infrastructure for the promotion of urban cycling in the city of Seville in the first decade of the 21st century, and applying such Lefebvrian contributions to its characteristics. In the confrontation of the different space-producing strategies, some infrastructures —such as the one addressed in this case study— guarantee the right to the city, instead of being, as could be argued from a superficial reading of Lefebvre’s analysis, an element that restricts that right.

Luz Marina García Herrera, professor at the University of La Laguna, colleague, teacher and friend, passed away in June 2020. A reference in Spanish Urban Geography, her contribution to the debate on the shaping of the city and the social dynamics inherent to it has opened up timely and necessary lines of work. She anchors her background in the interpretation of urban social processes under capitalism, focusing on key issues such as marginal developments, gentrification mechanisms or different facets of urban segregation. In addition she also approaches other issues in which we have been able to share time and space with her. Among them the constant and changing conditioning between physical and social environments in the city and consequences, or the reading of public spaces, their use and appropriation keys, as an indicator of cohesion as well as an instrument for the transformation of specific realities. All of this, and even more his commitment and his profound humanity, which we are proud to have learned from, motivate these lines.

Traditional ideas about citizenship in their liberal conception emphasize the role played by the individual as the holder of rights and duties. These ideas have been strongly questioned by various currents of thought and from some fields of studies, such as urban studies. In this paper we seek to contribute to these debates by analyzing the urban practices of a popular assembly in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA-Argentina). These practices are enmeshed in disputes between the old and the new, the public and the private, and the visible and invisible, configuring citizenships that promote ways of understanding and building more participatory and democratic cities. We analyze the activities of “making visible” and activism in relation to the homelessness problem as well as the Assembly’s intention of building an urban habitat anchored in the decommodification of the city and in collective projects. We conclude that this case testifies to the construction of citizen experiences that have great potential to displace the individualistic corset with which citizens’ rights are usually defined and defended.

The search for an answer to the question of when the landscape begins, brings us closer to a subject as complex as that of looking for traces of landscape in Homer’s genesic works. From a phenomenological analysis of literary texts, we are forced to draw on such heterogeneous sciences as psychology, painting or geography, to promote a transdisciplinary convergence that helps us in our search for landscape and housing archetypes from attentive and inquisitive readings of the Homeric hexameters and some of the possible objectifications of their places of indeterminacy. We focus on the Odyssey, Homer’s second masterpiece, recited and written at the end of the 8th century BC and considered the germ of Western literature. Such an epic narrative develops complex plots in settings belonging to known and differentiated territories known as “Hellas”. In short, Homeric stories necessarily take place in a “place”, be it real, imaginary or fictitious, of a physical space or vital territory- in which action and daily life will take place. The Poet, as aedo-educator, selects stereotypical natural or cultural spaces of the Mediterranean in order to show archetypes of nature, geography, the polis, and the Mediterranean landscape itself, as an educational and unifying program for the dispersed peoples of Hellas. And the objectifications of that Homeric world, carried out throughout history by different memory repositories, will be the basis for the creation of the West. Here we dare to identify the cave —located on mountainous limestone slopes and facing the sea— with the archetype of the first Mediterranean rural landscape and habitat.

The city we inhabit, the territory we share, it is nowadays under revision, and urbanism is central to these reflections. The experiences of “Territorio Tolosa” (Tolosa Territory), a collective project of urban contemplation and neighborhood transformation, comprised by architects, artists and the local community, which I have coordinated for the past five years. We have run walks around Tolosa, organized workshops, performances and different types of collective practices to re-signify the spaces we inhabit. Our research questions those architectures that support hegemonic ways of producing controlled and a priori spaces, proposing instead open processes to participatory practices, which include walks and collective mapping as ways of thinking about urbanism. In one hand, we want to explore procedures to deconstruct the traditional ways of producing architecture, based on individual skill, in order to promote them as collective processes, collaborative and transdisciplinary. On the other hand, we want to explore deeper into the architectures of delay, proximity and care, to enhance the pre-existing urban landscape and the sensitive encounter between people. Tolosa is neighborhood in La Plata city, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Tolosa will be taken as the research focus, to rethink the neighborhood in the xxi century from feminist perspective.

Parque Alcosa, in Seville, is a neighbourhood that is well known mainly for the marked identity of its inhabitants and for the important tradition of mobilizations aimed at overcoming the difficulties created by its peripheral position and its deprivations, which have been present since the origin of the neighbourhood. Through the application of some methodological tools developed in the framework of the Social Production and Management of Habitat (PSGH) from a qualitative approach, this article aims to deepen, from a complex perspective, in the transformation phenomena that have affected the neighborhood of Parque Alcosa in order to demonstrate the transformative potential of CIVITAS in the processes of transformation of the Habitat.

This paper attempts to describe a particularly successful model of social production of habitat, that of Uruguayan housing cooperatives, which has already been developed for more than half a century, linking it with the conclusions of studies on the management of common goods by the people own selves by the Elinor Ostrom. Uruguayan housing cooperative´s characteristics and central aspects are analysed. Main singularities of the system are self-management, direct involvement of future users throughout their work or savings, and collective ownership of the houses, granting the right to use and enjoy to households. Subsequently, it is made a brief presentation of Ostrom’s work on commons and the Uruguayan cooperative model is taken up considering these concepts. This paper concludes that this social housing model would have great potential if had the support of the governments, currently oriented to free market, throughout development of an adequate legal framework, public funding, and access to land.
