Abstract
Through a comparative analysis of two urban spaces located in the city of Lisbon, Portugal, I intend to demonstrate how some values can be added to space in order to attract certain residents, investors or interests, and how these urban spaces make use of these values to differentiate and promote themselves in various ways. In considering the gentrification process in the city centre and the construction of a spatial and social neighborhood identity in a more peripheral area, I focus on the urban middle classes and some social strategies of belonging.
