591. Cartographies of displacements by home dispossession. Evictions and fo- reclosures in Palma through their geohistory

Abstract

Based on data collected in the Common Service of Notifications and Embargoes of the courts of the judicial party in Palma, cartographies of the evolution of evictions due to non-payment of rent and foreclosures occurred in the city between 2003 and 2014 have been elaborated. Dispossession of housing in Palma shows an uneven behavior, with a much more intense concentration of foreclosures in the most precarious urban area. Nonetheless, evictions due to non-payment of rent are established in gentrified spaces. The article explains this development of the unequal geography of home dispossession from the narratives that explain the geohistorical construction of Palma.
