Methodological Strategy

In this article we reflect upon the implications that the analysis of the Right to the city has acquired in the current context of the Covid-19 pandemic and delve into the study of urban inequalities. To this end, we seek to reconstruct the differential nature of the experience of inhabiting, as well as the different socio-spatial problems and practices that emerged as a result of the stay-at-home order in the settlements and popular neighborhoods of Tandil city. Given the fact that during the stages of preventive and compulsory isolation and social distancing (in Spanish ASPO - DISPO) urban inequalities acted as a vector of deepening social inequalities, we wonder what dimensions and relations of inhabiting were transformed by the pandemic. Besides, we are also interested in knowing what aspects emerge or are (re)configured and how these aspects can be theoretically analyzed. Thereto, we employed a flexible methodological strategy that articulates different information records with the use of documentary analysis techniques and interviews with key informants. By means of a qualitative analysis, we studied the features of the experience of inhabiting in settlements and popular neighborhoods of the city of Tandil during the pandemic in 2020, identifying difficulties and transformations caused by the ASPO and DISPO policies.
