De tiendas a viviendas: Análisis de los cambios de usos comerciales a residenciales como estrategia de adaptación a la crisis del retail en Barcelona
This research explores the relationship between commercial desertification and the shift in use of commercial premises to residential, within the broader context of retail and housing crises. Using a qualitative approach—including in-depth interviews with actors from the real estate and commercial sectors, and surveys of commercial hubs—it identifies an emerging but fragmented governance. This governance is shifting from protecting local commerce…

Towards a Retailess City? A Comparative Analysis of the Retail Desertification between a Global and a Local Commercial Strips in Barcelona
The relationships between the circuits of the urban economy and retail desertification are analysed based on two retail strips in Barcelona: Passeig de Gràcia, a central hub with global reach, and the Sants-Creu Coberta strip, which responds to the demand for consumption on a local, everyday scale. The hypothesis is that the relationships between these circuits and retail desertification behave differently depending on their relative position in …
Urban Planning Paradoxes and Sociospatial Fragmentation: The Superblock Barcelona Case (2016–2023)
Barcelona is an interesting living laboratory for studying the role of the local scale in urban planning. Since the early stages of what is known as the Barcelona Model (1979–1994), analysis of Barcelona's urban planning based on the creation of public spaces at a local scale has become a priority. More recently, micro‐scale urban planning has become dominant in addressing global challenges such as climate change within the framework of the New U…
La Fragmentación Socioespacial a Través De La Vida Cotidiana: Análisis De Prácticas Espaciales De Habitantes De Marabá-Pa (Brasil)
La fragmentación socioespacial es, hace décadas, un proceso presente en las ciudades latinoamericanas. La mayoría de las aportaciones señalan una nueva organización urbana, en forma de fragmentos cada vez menos relacionados entre sí. A pesar de ser un debate de largo alcance, tanto su definición conceptual como su empirización, aún presentan ciertas dificultades. Con el objetivo de contribuir a una mayor precisión explicativa del concepto, se pro…
Reproducción social y periferias subjetivas: Herramientas Para La Comprensión De Las Desigualdades Socioespaciales
Este artículo parte de la hipótesis de la existencia de límites cuantitativos, escalares y productivos en los actuales abordajes de las desigualdades socioespaciales que restringen su comprensión. Con el objetivo de introducir dimensiones y escalas habitualmente obviadas, se proponen caminos analíticos que eviten estos límites a partir del análisis de un informe sobre desigualdades y vulnerabilidades en el área metropolitana de Barcelona. Se cons…
Interpreting Sociospatial Fragmentation, Differential Urbanization and Everyday Life: A Critique for the Latin American Debate
Similar to many concepts in Social Sciences, the concept of sociospatial fragmentation has been often misused, at times leading to significant confusion. In view of that, this article aims to critically review this concept in Latin America. It brings into discussion that, from a critical perspective and compared with differential urbanization and everyday life, the concept of sociospatial fragmentation contributes to explaining the current relati…
Barcelona’s New Chinatown: Chinese Strategies in the Housing Market in Barcelona and Globalization
Globalization of the urban real estate market, which was originally local, has generated new capital flows worldwide that have reinforced the secondary circuit. Barcelona has not been immune to this process, at least since Spain’s integration into the European Union in 1986. Many legal changes in foreign investment regulations have been introduced in Spain, especially in the housing market. The latest major investments in real estate have been ma…
