This implies, in particular, the study of fair ways of distributing the benefits and responsibilities resulting from the urbanisation process, the fulfilment of the social function of cities and properties, the democratisation of access to housing and public services and the distribution of urban income, with special attention to the groups with fewer economic resources and in situations of vulnerability.
