Abstract

Durante la dictadura franquista, viviendas humildes e ilegales, conocidas como "chabolas", se desarrollaron en grandes proporciones en la periferia de Madrid, contradiciendo de forma flagrante el recientemente implementado planeamiento urbano de la ciudad. Para comprender dicha aparente contradicción se han analizado textos legales, archivos urbanísticos, literatura urbanística y fuentes epistolares sobre el chabolismo madrileño. Los resultados de la investigación muestran cómo, más allá de la retórica de la dictadura, el régimen facilitó una gestión diferencial de dichos espacios, inicialmente tolerándolos y posteriormente desencadenando procesos de desposesión con procedimientos administrativos que podríamos calificar de informales.

During the Francoist dictatorship, humble and illegal dwellings, known as "chabolas", developed in large proportions on the outskirts of Madrid, blatantly contradicting the recently implemented urban planning of the city. To understand this apparent contradiction, legal texts, urban planning archives, urban planning literature, and epistolary sources related to Madrid's shantytowns have been analyzed. The research results reveal how, beyond the dictatorship rhetoric, the regime facilitated differential management of these spaces, initially tolerating them and later triggering processes of dispossession through administrative procedures that could be described as informal.
