Sumario:Based on a collective research work on the recent dynamics of the social reproduction of Cordoba families, in this paper we propose a sociological approach to the spatial dimension of social inequality in the city of Córdoba based on the explanation and understanding of the housing strategies pursued by poor families. In the introductory section we present some economic, social and political dimensions of the context in which these strategies were developed. Then, we explain our relational way of constructing poverty –an approach that combines a quantitative and a qualitative dimension of research– and we characterize the class in which the families we refer to in this work are positioned. Third, we reconstruct the housing strategies pursued by these families in the city of Córdoba in the 1990s, taking into account the objective conditions that weighed on their practices and the representations associated with them. Finally, we propose some considerations that aim to explain and understand the identified modalities of access to land and housing in relation to: the volume and structure of the families' capital, their residential trajectories, and certain symbolic principles and social distinction.
