El papel de la inmigración extranjera en el cambio social y urbano de el Besòs i el Maresme, un barrio periférico de Barcelona. Interrogaciones a partir de un estudio exploratorio

摘要

The patterns of residential installation of the new foreign immigration, the patterns of implementation of businesses run by immigrant entrepreneurs, as well as certain uses of private and public space and mobility to and from the neighborhood of el Besòs i el Maresme are contemplated in this paper. The lived space by the foreign immigrants contains elements of urban change that are added to the urban dynamics promoted by the public governments. El Besòs i el Maresme not only allows for the assessment of trends common to many Spanish popular neighborhoods that meet now the same stage of development, but it also offers a possibility of analysis in terms of urban revitalization by its location in the immediate vicinity of the largest space of urban change in the northeast of the Catalan capital, although the contradictory processes at work that point to the social marginalization are not ignored. This text is based on fieldwork done by the authors in 2007-2009.
