| Descripció: | In urban geography, studies addressing the social dimension of the city from a materialistic and economic perspective abound. However, the topic is much less explored from a phenomenological perspective; that is, what exists in the consciousness of each subject, and to our knowledge, defines and redefines the city at all times. Therefore, it seems necessary to reflect on how each subject perceived and socially constructed their city from its subjectivity. To this end, this article focuses on the contributions made by Alfred Schütz for the study of urban space from a view that considers the social and intangible which are found in the conscience of every subject. First examined is the subjective and intersubjective nature of the city that is part of the “everyday life.” Then the “theory of action” as the basis for the constant reproduction of urban space is explored, and, finally, the reasons “for” and “because” as central to the urban researcher’s understanding and interpretation of the city from a social perspective. |
