One in San Carlos, after the flood of April 2, 2013; and the other, in Los Hornos, due to the drop in energy supply in 2016. Both events acted as triggers that modified the uses and appropriations of public space by the inhabitants of each neighborhood. Due to the critical conditions of the popular habitat, due to the deterioration of infrastructure, such as social and housing equipment, urban public space was used by neighbors and social organizations to hold assemblies. In both cases, the demands made generated processes of organization and active participation in decision making, which led us to ask ourselves how symbolic and material links are established with a given urban space, and what importance they acquire in neighborhood organization. We also investigated their impact on citizen participation, as well as whether these practices persist over time or whether they disappear once the conflict has passed. En este artículo, se presenta la relevancia que adquirió el espacio público urbano en relación con dos acciones colectivas, en la disputa por la mejora del hábitat en sectores periféricos de la ciudad de La Plata. Uno en San Carlos, posterior a la inundación del 2 de Abril de 2013; y el otro, en Los Hornos, por la baja en el suministro de energía en el año 2016. Ambos acontecimientos actuaron como disparadores que modificaron los usos y apropiaciones que realizaron del espacio público los/as habitantes de cada barrio. A partir de las condiciones críticas del hábitat popular, por el deterioro de infraestructura, como equipamiento social y habitacional, el espacio público urbano fue utilizado por vecinos, vecinas y organizaciones sociales para realizar asambleas. En ambos casos, las demandas planteadas generaron procesos de organización y participación activa en la toma de decisiones, que llevó a preguntarnos cómo se establecen vínculos simbólicos y materiales con un espacio urbano determinado, y qué importancia adquieren en la organización barrial. Asimismo se indagó en su incidencia en la participación ciudadana de los/as habitantes, como también en sí son prácticas que persisten en el tiempo o si pasado el momento conflictivo, desaparecen.
