Abstract

This article aims to show the conflictive constitution of the urban space, pointing out the characteristics that occurs to it in the face of violence. The social and urban space is in and of itself a place of conflict, both for the variability of the inhabitants it contains and for the constant change that its temporal quality implies. Thus, the urban space is kept in constant unstable equilibria that are sometimes broken by violent events such as war or urban violence due to crime or delinquency. Consequently, the urban space reflects in its architectural and urban textures the marks of said violence.
