Abstract

This article analyses the construction of space in the colonisation villages of the Franco regime from a gender perspective. The aim is to reveal how the new urban centres, through their architectural configuration, were configured as the instigators of a spatial as well as a social order, which determined the assignment of differentiated uses to men and women based on the idea of male superiority. A comparison of the discourses generated by the regime around sexual difference with the reality of a case study reveals the contradictions into which the system itself fell.
