In Valencia, as in other Spanish cities, neo-liberal urban trends, accompanied by all their tinsel, glitter and misery, have emerged and disrupted its socio-spatial system causing great tension and conflicts. The paper examines the impact of the new urban policies on the waterfront of the city that have caused a series of urban misfortunes as well as precariousness and insecurity, and thus have limited the residents’ access to the goods and services that make up the local citizenship. However, Valencia’s inhabitants have not given up their rights and have created new citizen platforms and revived old neighbourhood associations, bringing forward proactive proposals for the future of their neighbourhoods and coastal areas.
Keywords: Neoliberal Urbanization, Peripheral Neighborhoods, Waterfront, Sociospatial Fragmentation, Social Precarity, Urban Movements.
