CUBEROS-GALLARDO, Francisco José. Citizenship, neighborhood and right to the city. Cova da Moura, Lisbona. Bitácora Urbano Territorial [online]. 2020, vol.30, n.3, pp.137-148.  Epub 07-Dic-2020. ISSN 0124-7913.  https://doi.org/10.15446/bitacora.v30n3.82480.

The Cova da Moura neighborhood, located on the outskirts of Lisbon, holds a serious conflict between two antithetical ways of understanding the right to the city. On the one hand, public institutions try to enable this right through a hygienist arrangement that homologues this space to the rest of the Portuguese territory. On the other, the residents of the neighborhood reject the urban plans proposed by the Portuguese State, and understand that their right to the city goes through a recognition of the cultural uniqueness of the neighborhood and urban planning policies that protect it. In this work this conflict is analyzed. It faces two opposing territorialization models: one that is built on the abstract category of the citizen and through Cartesian criteria, and another that refers to the notion of the neighbor and that relies on the specificity of concrete experiences.

Palabras clave : immigration; identity; social conflicts; urban ization; urban planning.
