VIDA URBANA: ENTRE LA DESIGUALDAD SOCIAL Y LOS ESPACIOS DEL HABITAR

The origin of this article is a survey in the metropolitan area of Granada on housing and urban lifestyles. It shows some indi­cations of social inequality not only immaterial housing conditions or everyday mo­bility behavior, but especially in the way people lives space depending on their socioeconomic status. Middle classes have a high functional perspective of the city and their surrounding space; on the other hand, working classes give space and the social relations that support an expressive and related with sociability value, in a great contrast to the former. We also make a methodological pro­posal, putting together socioeconomic condition and urban space in only one variable.
