Crisis económica y desarrollo metropolitano. Una propuesta de investigación

subject

description

[EN] The metropolitan areas have undergone deep transformations linked to neo-liberal globalization, whose effects have been disseminated with uneven intensity depending on their specific local paths. The current economic crisis and the austerity policies applied in the European periphery shows their contradictions and causes new social and spatial asymmetries that are best reflected in these large urban areas, modifying their development paths. This paper proposes an interpretation on the territorial dimension of the economic crisis, discusses some of its main metropolitan manifestations and proposes various lines of research. The effect of the financialisation in the production of urban space through the real estate investment, the unequal vulnerability to the impact of the crisis and the austerity policies implemented in many countries, the characteristics and local action of the new urban social movements which arise as a response to the above, or the debate about resilience strategies constitute their essential contents
