La experiencia cotidiana en el análisis urbano

Abstract

The main purpose of this investigation is to verify the incorporation of the daily dimension on the urban practice of nowadays, especially in Catalonia, in a critical and proactive analysis. The methodology used was the theoretical analysis of bibliography, the critical analysis of urban planning practice and the empirical analysis of reality. The research confirmed that in current urban planning the vision of daily life has been generalized from a conception exclusi vely productive leaving behind the activities related to the care and reproduction of life. Feminist theories and gender studies have been the ones that have contributed a critical view to this tendency, without being incorporated to the practice. It was possible to prove that with the use of qualitative methodology on gender perspective it is possible to incorporate the daily experience in urban planning analysis.
