¿Hacia una ciudad dual? suburbanización y centralización en las principales ciudades españolas

Abstract

Large cities and metropolitan areas are being transformed by different migratory and economic processes and also, in a relevant way, by residential mobility. This study focuses on the latter, analyzing profiles of the participants in centralization and suburbanization movements in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville and Bilbao, based on data from the 2011 census. Using binomial logistic regression models, we have measured a greater tendency to seek out urban centers of middle classes, educated population and people living in non-traditional households. At the same time, there is a growing suburbanization of young, working-class people involved in family projects. The combination of both movements (which could be individually seen as examples of social mix) is causing an increase in urban segregation, now on a metropolitan scale.

Local development, metropolitan sustainability and the urbanization-suburbanization nexus in the Mediterranean region: A quantitative exercise

“…Cividino et al, 2020;Dahan & Tsiddon, 1998;Timár & Váradi, 2001). These factors possibly reinforced each other as a function of a (more or less) strict interplay with the economic dynamics characteristic of the gravitation basin they belong to (Hale & Moberg, 2003;Torrado et al, 2021;Wang & Dong, 2022).…”

On intra-urban differences in the destinations of emigrants from the Municipality of Malaga (Spain): An approximation based on the municipal register of inhabitants

“…In other words, the reality present in the Municipality of Malaga would extend to the entire metropolitan area. In this regard, Torrado, J.M. et al (2021) have raised this possibility at a metropolitan scale in five major Spanish metropolitan areas.…”

“…Most of these studies (Susino, J. and Duque-Calvache, R. 2013;De Oliveira Neves, G. et al 2019; Bayona-i-Carrasco, J. and Pujadas-i-Rúbies, I. 2020; Torrado, J.M. et al 2021) analyse municipalities as the unit of analysis, using the statistics of residential variations and/ or population censuses as primary sources.…”

Ciudades violentas:

“…A lo largo el siglo XX, los procesos de industrialización han ido dando paso a la creación de grandes ciudades, que a su vez produjeron la concentración y el desplazamiento a los núcleos urbanos de grandes masas poblacionales (Torrado, et al, 2021). En su momento, estos movimientos poblacionales -el éxodo rural, por ejemplo-fueron motivo de estudio para la sociología y las desigualdades socio-espaciales que estas originaron y siguen originando.…”
