Abstract
Otxarkoaga has been one of the most punished neighborhoods of Bilbao since it's creation until nowadays. Poverty, marginality, institutional neglection, deficiencies… have been the daily basis since it was constructed in the last centuries 60's. Despite this reality, the construction of the neighborhood was used as a symbol of the economical and social progress that was going on in Spain's devolpment era known as 'desarrollismo'. Facing to a consolidation of the middle class and the consumer society, we find new neighborhoods such as Otxarkoaga, in wich the aim is to colocate uncualified workforce and shows obvious urbanistic deficiencies. The purpose of this text is to elucidate the causes of the marginal condition of the neighbourhood in the diverse aspects refered to its historical origins.
