This is an exploratory article about care networks that are proliferating in the neighbourhoods of big Spanish cities. These networks are a reaction from civil society to confront the COVID-19 crisis that is currently affecting the most structurally vulnerable households. The effects of the food emergency, arising as a consequence of the pandemic, have a strong socio-spatial component, and call into question the welfare model of the city of Madrid, our study case. We will study the origins of care networks in the city, their relation with the neighbourhood movement, and effects of the change in the city model between conservative and neo-municipalist governments. We will analyse the structure of care networks, their agency, and especially their potential role as political actors in the neoliberal city from three different theoretical approaches: social movements, social innovation, and urban governance.
