| Sumario: | Based on social research carried out in capital cities of Colombia and Venezuela, the analysis and effects of the relationships that young people have with the urban spaces represented in shopping centers and public squares are presented. In addition to exposing the methodological processes, results and common points, an analysis is made of the changes that cultural dynamics have had as a result of the globalizing and hegemonic increase. The findings confirm the relationship between young people, urban spaces and their cultural practices. The invitation is made to propose alternatives in which the malls give space to other cultural expressions and motivate young people to demand from local and regional leaders public policies for them and cultural goods and services, but above all to activate the democratizing project proposed by Canclini et al (2010). The investigations of Bermúdez (2010) in Maracaibo-Venezuela, and of Bohórquez, López and Suárez (2014) in Bucaramanga-Colombia, served as the basis for this reflection.
