Residential strategies have directly been aff ected by diverse economic crises and several factors such as employment, purchasing power, borrowing capacity infl uencing housing access, and the housing market. This is particularly true for the present crisis as the Spanish GDP is based on tourism and the construction industries. This context has infl uenced social groups in various ways, generating new vulnerabilities and inequalities, and, hence, unfolding a new residential map. Probably the period’s greatest change has been the development of the disperse city due to housing estate growth. Therefore, a new landscape has appeared.
