Regarding
\n Street Dogs<\/strong>
\n<\/em>, the scene of 
\n Bellvitge live role-playing<\/strong>
\n<\/em>, and in relation to the last entry<\/a> of this same blog, we wrote this elsewhere:<\/p>\n

\u00abIt is precisely in the late 70s and early 80s when socio-cultural spaces aimed at young people were created \u2014such as open centers, community centers, and <\/em>esplais\u2014 that soon established agreements and conventions with public administrations and coordinated to carry out assistance tasks for populations considered at risk of social exclusion. It is at this moment when the idea that the street, which until then had been the main space for play and socialization for children and young people, was a dangerous place begins to be implemented and extended. It was therefore necessary to establish regulated and standardized spaces where the leisure time of children and young people was managed and controlled by adults, tasks that would be carried out by a whole series of technicians and professionals: educators and social workers, leisure time educators, street educators, esplai monitors, etc. From another point of view, we can understand that all these devices and knowledge significantly reduced the autonomy and capacities of children and young people to self-organize their leisure and their way of inhabiting the territory. It should also be noted that the neighborhood of Bellvitge<\/strong>, during the 60s and 70s, was not largely urbanized; this offered children and young people a good handful of undefined spaces \u2014vacant lots, rubble dumps, and construction areas\u2014 that they could freely use in their games, without being conditioned by the design and criteria of official urban planning. Already in the 80s, the irruption of drugs into life and of the \u201cyouth gangs\u201d the collective imagination of the neighborhood would end up putting the final touch to these infantile ways of inhabiting the city. <\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n

Among that technical body and social knowledge that landed in neighborhoods like Bellvitge during those first years of democracy, in which the first social policies were put into operation as we know them today, sociology was also counted: in 1979 Pilar Ferran<\/strong>, then Deputy Mayor of Social Services of the L’Hospitalet City Council, commissioned the Obinso<\/strong> group to study juvenile delinquency in the city between 1976 and 1981. The report was carried out by the sociologists Llu\u00eds Ventosa<\/g> and Llu\u00eds Recolons<\/g> whom we incorporated as characters into the scene. During our research for the creation of
\n Street Dogs<\/strong>
\n<\/em> we were able to interview Llu\u00eds Recolons: <\/p>\n
