Abstract

The purpose of this chapter1 is to compare two current urban movements involved in noteworthy social battles inside Spain on subjects such as access to housing and spaces for communal sociability. Both the squatters’ movement and housing activism display similarities and confluences, though they stand as two different movements not only in their development and organisational processes, but also in their goals and leadership.
