Resumen

El fenómeno de la desindustrialización, así como los cambios vertiginosos dependientes del capital financiero, produjeron nuevas tendencias en los modelos de organización y producción de ciudades occidentales como Bilbao. La organización socioespacial y la estructuración de la ‘nueva ciudad’ comienza a ser un tema de gran importancia. Es en este sentido que los conceptos de espacio público y urbano adquieren mayor relevancia teórica. Los resultados obtenidos mediante la aplicación de la teoría en el caso de Bilbao, siguen las tendencias globales de desarrollo urbano. La planificación espacial cumple las funciones estratégicas de un sistema que domina los procesos urbanos a su conveniencia. Existe una tendencia a construir espacios asépticos que estén más cerca de los intereses del capital que de los ciudadanos.
