description The Havana city of the 40's and 50's continued to expand on bases that boosted the westward expansion by Mariano and had the bourgeois housing as one of the most characteristic elements. With this study we intend to analyze the space as one of the fundamental keys in the conformation of the urban structures of the social classes from real estate and constructive alternatives whose purpose lay in the administration of the territory and the establishment of limits within which the conspicuous elements of the Havana elite developed their strategies of organization and articulation of the territory and their logics of action-exclusion. In this exercise, they implement resource distribution patterns that enable them and their representatives to act as organizing agents and guarantors of the city's unequal development, trying to produce the physical space in such a way as to order inhabitation. The Havana elite would distribute, assign and approve the appropriate places for each subject to fulfill highly hierarchical and stratified social functions, guaranteeing their own preeminence. This elite practiced and/or enjoyed a lifestyle and customs that privileged privacy and homogeneity within the group. In the city built by and for the Havana bourgeoisie, divisions were established that translated into spatial differences that became visible as a matter of access to power in the different spheres of social, political, cultural and economic life.

La ciudad habanera de las décadas de los 40 y 50 continúa dilatándose sobre bases que potenciaban la expansión hacia el oeste por Mariano y tenían a la vivienda burguesa como uno de los elementos más característicos. Con este estudio pretendemos analizar el espacio como una de las claves fundamentales en la conformación de las estructuras urbanas de las clases sociales a partir de alternativas inmobiliarias y constructivas cuyo fin radicaba en la administración del territorio y el establecimiento de límites dentro de los cuales desarrollaban sus estrategias de ordenación y articulación del territorio y sus lógicas de acción-exclusión los elementos conspicuos de la élite habanera. En este ejercicio instrumentan patrones de distribución de los recursos que les posibilitan a ellos y a sus representantes actuar como agentes organizadores y garantes del desarrollo desigual de la ciudad tratando de producir el espacio físico de manera que se pueda ordenar el habitar. Es sobre este donde la élite habanera distribuirá, asignará y aprobará los lugares apropiados para que cada sujeto cumpla con funciones sociales altamente jerarquizadas y estratificadas, garantizando su propia preeminencia. Esta élite practicaba y/o disfrutaba de un estilo de vida y costumbres que privilegiaban la privacidad y la homogeneidad hacia el interior del grupo. En la ciudad construida por y para la burguesía habanera, se establecían divisiones que se traducían en diferencias espaciales que se visibilizaban como una cuestión de acceso al poder en las distintas esferas de la vida social, política, cultural y económica.
