The present work generated an analysis of qualitative data making use of categories that
contemplate the dimensions of the right to the city exercised by the informal/autonomous
workers of the in downtown Cuenca Ecuador (the historic area of the city). A rich discussion
was generated regarding urban exclusion and the notions of citizenship and heritage.
Concluding that the needs of this specific group are not being addressed in a timely manner
by the local administration and recognizing the possibility that a new opportunity to generate
effective policies arises due to a regulatory advance in Ecuador.
