The objective of this text is to share a reflection on the different ways social space and state space are defined. With the evolution of history, notions have undergone various changes. The main discussion object refers to the coarseness in the terminology associated with both concepts. In particular, how theorists construct and account for their particularities. From a brief theoretical account, the forms that exist to account for their respective structures are explained. It should be noted that the contribution of this paper lies in the fact that it rescues part of the definitions that have been constructed and that various specialists have coined from their perspectives.

Abstract
As a result of a deep research regarding the sense, practices, use, perception and public intervention in public space in Cuernavaca, Morelos, México, theoretical reflections were issued answering the call of papers of the 2nd Seminar of the red Lationamericana sobre Teoría Urbana in relation to the concept of public space and the function it has within the city. A criticism is made considering public space as a tool for the construction of citizenship and control of exclusion as fundamental parts of the questioning done to the called 'right to the city'.

This paper presents the results of an investigation intended to disclose the various forms through which urban space has been produced in Santiago's outer limits. With that purpose in mind, two settlements built by the end of the 1950s were analyzed following Lefebvre's theory of production of space (2013): La Victoria, and San Gregorio. They both constitute appropriate examples of emerging new agents in urban space in Chile during the 1950s, and of their ways of producing urban space in Santiago's periphery, methods whose objective was to gain State recognition as formal urban settlers, a status they aspired to achieve through a fair deal during the process.
