description The Movement of Occupants and Tenants (MOI by its Spanish acronym) is currently one of the best examples of the revindication of the right to the city in Buenos Aires, as well as the capacity of grassroots organizations to create and re-create the urban space. The struggle of the Movement in this city has characterized for the revindication of the permanence of the popular sectors in the central areas, in a context where these spaces are being revaluated and, urban development projects targeting the urban renewal with clear neoliberal orientation are being designed. This article, which starts from fieldwork carried out with cooperative housings that make up the organization, presents the dispute for the urban centre between the capital and grassroots organizations paying attention to both, the material fight specifically for high demanded land, and the ideological struggle for legitimacy of the different uses and ways of life in the central spaces.

El Movimiento de Ocupantes e Inquilinos (MOI) es actualmente uno de los mejores ejemplos de la reivindicación del derecho a la ciudad en Buenos Aires, así como de la capacidad de las organizaciones populares para crear y recrear el espacio urbano. Su lucha en esta ciudad se ha caracterizado por la reivindicación de la permanencia de los sectores populares en las áreas centrales, en un contexto de revalorización de los mismos y de desarrollo de proyectos urbanísticos dirigidos a una renovación urbana con clara orientación neoliberal. El presente artículo, que parte de un trabajo de campo en las cooperativas de vivienda que componen la organización, plantea esta disputa por el centro urbano entre el capital y las organizaciones populares prestando atención tanto a la lucha específicamente material por suelos altamente demandados, como a la lucha ideológica por la legitimidad de los distintos usos y formas de vida en los espacios centrales.
