Abstract

The impact of the Great Recession in Spain has been colossal in social, economic and political terms. In this paper, we describe the evolution of three variables commonly associated with the concept of spatial equilibrium: population, employment and housing prices. As a novel aspect, we use municipal data and we use aggregate information for the 45 Functional Urban Areas, defined by the Urban Audit project. The analysis shows that economic crisis has implied an increase in the spatial concentration of population and economic activity: most populated cities have increased their weight in population terms and is where the economic recovery has occurred sooner and with stronger impulse.
