Abstract

This monograph aims to discuss the role of migration in Latin American and Iberian Peninsula urban planning. In this way, investigating the transformations and urban processes from the lens of appropriations and mobilities developed by migratory flows -internal from the countryside to the city and international- allows us to reflect on the main forms of growth and revitalization of our cities and territories in a comparative way between the global south and the global north. In this sense, the classical conception of the territory is questioned as a mere container or scenario of social processes, and it is committed to thinking of migrants as agents that actively influence the configuration of the urban habitat.

Francisco José Cuberos Gallardo, University of Seville

Francisco José Cuberos Gallardo is a doctor in Social Anthropology and a specialist in migration studies, inter-ethnic relations and urban conflicts. He currently works as a professor and researcher in the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of Seville.

He completed his doctoral studies as a FPU researcher in 2012, carrying out his doctoral thesis on the organizational strategies of Latin American immigrants residing in the city of Seville. Subsequently, he has developed his work around the integration of the immigrant population in urban contexts in Europe and Latin America, carrying out field work in Argentina, Brazil and Portugal.

He has worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Research and Studies in Sociology (CIES-IUL, Lisbon), and has carried out research stays at the University of California at San Diego (USA), the Colegio de la Frontera Norte ( Mexico), FLACSO (Ecuador), CONICET (Argentina) and Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (Brazil).

He is the author of more than forty publications, including books, chapters, articles and reports. His works have been published in journals such as Social Anthropology, Cultural Studies, Ethnic and Racial Studies, Journal of Urban History or Interventions. International Journal of Postcolonial Studies, among others.

Since 2005 he has continuously participated in research projects directly linked to his field of study. In his career, a research methodology based on multi-site ethnography stands out, which combines qualitative techniques such as participant observation, semi-structured interview, social network analysis and work with documentary sources. In his research, he has examined the strategies of migrant populations to address urban conflicts such as gentrification, peripheralization, or the restriction and control of the use of public spaces.

He is currently interested in expanding this line of research towards a cross-sectional analysis of the various forms of territorialization of human groups in urban contexts. He is a member of the AUIP’s Ibero-American Network for Research in Urban Policies, Conflicts and Movements, as well as the Andalusian Association of Anthropology and the international advisory committee of EURE. Latin American Journal of Regional Urban Studies.
