The neighborhood movement in the transition from the resistance to the contruction of alternatives

Abstract

This article seeks to trace the main lines of interpretation of the neighborhood movement in late francoist Spain, focusing the analysis on structuring and development of this social movement in the great metropolitan areas of the country. As a result, we will consider this analysis in three times that condense its main features: a first time where its origins lie in the chaotic and speculative urban development model, a second in which the neighborhood movement develops its repertoire of collective actions and becomes one of the main areas of political participation, and a third period marked by the crisis caused by the decrease of the prominence of social antifrancoism in front of political antifrancoism.
