Abstract

The strong drive of building construction between mid-nineties until 2007 and its further rapid and Sharp crises in Spain, although has been described in detail, could not be understood, however, without considering and analyzing the underlying territorial and social processes over they are based on. The objective of this paper is to analyze the relationship between residential mobility and housing construction in metropolitan areas, coming from the hypothesis that the first one is the main factor to explain the drive for housing construction in these areas. To test such hypothesis, it has been carried out, at a municipal level, a statistical analysis of the relationships between residential mobility flows and housing construction in the metropolitan areas of Madrid and Seville. Results shows a setting in which each municipality bids up to attract increasing proportions of the residential mobility flows, with the subsequent oversized dwelling stock in these urban spaces
