This document analyzes urban social movements and urban restructuring in Turin, Italy between 1969-1976. It discusses how urban development and local politics in Turin were influenced by the growth of urban conflict during this period, as mass political movements developed across Italy. It argues that urban conflicts, while often arising from immediate issues like housing or transportation, generally opposed capitalist organization of cities and sought to transform social relations. The document examines different theoretical interpretations of urban social movements and proposes analyzing their development in relation to changes in the economic structure and spatial organization of cities resulting from capitalist production and reproduction, which can come into contradiction with people's living conditions and give rise to mass urban movements.
