The relationship between housing and public space is at the heart of the city’s debate. The subject is presented as a study of specific cases to reflect on the topic. In order to specify a limited field of study, it is planned to choose a specific period each year and make a cross-section. To the extent that the city is a complex reality, it is intended to introduce all those agents that determine the idea of ??city; of course urban planning and architecture, but also thought, cinema and music, communication, technology, etc. The period we have chosen for the 2014-2015 academic year is the one that takes on special visibility in 1968 and which we could extend to the years from 1961 to 1973.
