Resumen
The present paper summarizes a research work under the same title and subtitled is "Spatial Integration V. S. functional segregation in the provision of private services to the metropolitan peripheries". It has studied the progressive implantation process of commercial big surfaces (malls, etc.), in a representative space of Madrid urban region, the Metropolitan South. This area is integrated by nine municipalities where almost one million of inhabitants live. These implantations, each time of bigger size, with more space for parking and greater dependence on the arterial roadway network, suppose a structuring element of the whole Metropolitan South, and at the same time act as an important element of distortion of the traditional commercial structure and, it is argued, presents potential risk for the survival of the traditional urban space.
