      The book delves into the interplay between internal migration, urbanization, and democratization in Spain from Franco's dictatorship to the early years of democracy. It examines how urban space was produced and managed as a tool for political and social repression, highlighting the challenges posed by mass squatting, known as chabolismo, to the official urban planning regime. Through this analysis, it sheds light on the broader implications of urban development in the context of authoritarian governance and the transition to democratic practices.
