We propose a revision of the phenomenon of spontaneous urban settlements through the specific analysis of a situation located in space and time. To do so we study the Los Perdigones Settlement within the context of the Seville Expo ’92 with the aim of relating large urban transformations with highly vulnerable areas. To begin with we reflect on the sense of the modern city through an analysis of recent changes in the metropolis. Then, we present the case study, which is analyzed from an urban, collective and private perspective. We seek to find the principles for further reflections on the reformulation of proposals on the production of urgent and transitory habitat; and above all —through the study of marginal ways of inhabiting— provide deeper insight into the definition of modern ways of inhabiting.
