Abstract
As a point of departure, we conceive the city as a space for social reproduction and so we focus on showing the material support and the social conditions of life, at first taking a picture of macro processes of urbanization. So we start with the comparison of the demographic grow and the urban development of Tijuana and Tangiers, considering their border location characterized by the asymmetric international position. It also leads us to highlight specificities and contrasts, such as the fact that in Tangiers, the border is formed by the sea, while in Tijuana, by a land border and a very dynamic city as a neighbor. In order to describe the settlement process and the habitable space, the chapter is divided into three sections as follows: (1) the historical background, (2) the dynamics of settlement, and (3) the urban structure and habitable space.
