It was the mapping of four lots closed in order to confront the appropriation of public spaces, in accordance with the provisions for granting use and urban legislation applicable. The work was divided into four chapters. The first demonstrates how public spaces are produced, what its social function, which instruments of privatization and the difference between condominiums and subdivisions closed. In the second chapter we have an analysis of the New Charter of Athens 2003, which gives rise to discussion on social function and social function of property in the city.
