Los recientes estudios de geografía urbana en Españatres décadas interpretando la ciudad y los procesos de urbanización (1992-2022)

Resumo

In recent decades, the city has changed in extraordinary ways, mainly as a consequence of urban processes and phenomena characteristic of post-fordism and globalisation. Since 2000, the effects on the city of the economic crisis and the bursting of the real estate bubble and, more recently, the COVID-19, inaugurated a new type of research. As a result, in Spain, Urban Geography has positioned itself as one of the most dynamic geographical disciplines and has been able to read these changes in the city, both morphologically and socially. In this context, the aim of this paper is to carry out a diagnosis of the bibliographical production of Urban Geography in Spain over the last three decades based on two types of sources. On the one hand, the publications of the Urban Geography Group of the Spanish Association of Geography (AGE); and, on the other, a selection of articles published in high impact journals according to four main variables: study territories (cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants), scales (urban or intra-urban, neighbourhoods), main themes, and characterisation of the selected journals. The methodology is based on a bibliographic search and the subsequent systematisation of the information collected. Although it is not our intention to quantify exactly the number of publications, we chose key words in the conceptual field investigated and carried out an exhaustive search in bibliographic repositories (Web of Science) since 2000
