The following work proposes to reflect on the articulation between migration, young people and urban space by contemplating and reconstructing the ways of inhabiting, circulating and producing the city. From an ethnographic approach, based on in-depth interviews, participant observation and commented tours, it analyzes the daily and urban trajectories of young Peruvian migrants living in two peripheral neighborhoods of the city of Córdoba, Argentina. The results show the central place that young Peruvian men and women occupy in family migration projects and, specifically, in the production of three spaces: the house, the neighborhood and the city. At the same time, these spaces condition the ways of being young in the city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
