Year: 2007
Type: article
Abstract: City and citizenship are two concepts articulated which are in re-signifi cation process in the context of new urban realities that in the last quarter of a century have impulse deep transformations in public life and in the relation space-society-institutions. This changes open the opportunity of re-thinking the city from citizenship and from the urban public, considering the social practices, the legal boundaries and the urban policies that have infl uence in its development. This text refl ects on the city as a citizenship construction space and introduces the discussion around the meaning of the concept, regaining some contributions of the social and urban theory. Finally, it studies the meaning of public space as a social construction and as a place of sociability and confl ict which expresses diverse and uneven forms of citizenship, and condenses some of the contradictory tendencies that distinguish contemporary citizenship.
