GARCIA PEREZ, Eva; RODRIGUEZ SEBASTIAN, Alejandro  e  MAIELLO, Vicenzo. The Transformation of Municipal Markets in Madrid: New Borders of Commercial Gentrification. Alteridades [online]. 2016, vol.26, n.51, pp.43-56. ISSN 2448-850X.

In Madrid, municipal markets -former elements which configured the neighborhood and its social relations- are now going through a process of ongoing transformation due to public policies driven by new investors, and to the development of gentrification processes in certain urban areas. Consequently, different market models are in conflict. Caught in the logic of "renew or perish", the renovation of the markets represents a struggle for urban space, expressed in the dichotomy of the right to the city over the right of consumption.
