RT Journal Article T1 Understanding drinking-and-eating-together-spaces distribution in Madrid: a socio-spatial approach A1 Rueda Córdoba, Francisco Javier AB This paper explores the unequal distribution of ‘Drinking-and-Eating-Together-Spaces’ (DETS) such as bars and cafeterias across Madrid, Spain. These spaces are analysed as essential social infrastructures, influencing social interaction, gentrification and the urban paradigm of proximity. Despite their socio-cultural importance, DETS in Spain have been overlooked in sociological research. Through a socio-spatial lens, the study examines how DETS serve as neighbourhood hubs, fostering community identity and cohesion. A regression analysis is applied to determine the correlation between DETS density and factors like population density, gentrification and household composition. The findings highlight the significant role DETS play in shaping urban spaces, not only as sites of socialisation but also as indicators of broader economic and social transformations.
