Abstract

The urban spaces are the refuge of underprivileged person of the civil sphere. At Europe, the migratory currents of people coming from underdeveloped countries, the crisis of the Welfare State and the entropy of the cities originate an ample number of people who live in the marginality. This proportion of the marginal and poor society is also concentrated in the great cities but in those of so large minor. There is no city that does not participate in this poverty and marginalization. We will treat this situation through the cities that form the urban network of Galicia, region of the northwest of Spain. A space considered like peripheral within the European Union that will teach to us a marginal reality in the small and medium cities subsists. Areas of shantytown, homeless people, unemployment, delinquency… reproduce behind the everyday life of cities like A Coruña or Vigo. A marginal and submerged urban world that contrasts with the development of these cities.
