Movimientos sociales urbanos en Bilbao la Vieja

Abstract

In this motion, we are not going to offer the theoretical discourse of a piece of research. Our work will simply consist of divulging a concrete experience: that of the social organisations in certain quarters of the Old Bilbao. Especially in the evolution of its structure, and how this has affected the identification of the conflict, the level of internal cohesion and collective action. We shall also make a special review of the projects on local development matters and employment promotion carried out by Neighbours' Association of San Francisco. We can not, however, but point out the mutual interaction between the growing maturity of the structure and the actions undertaken.
