Both studies are anchored in the concept of affectivity in the city as an analysis category. It understands as the people action-transformation engine in relation to the surrounding physical partner. Although they have been performed in different contexts, the researches used a semi-structured interview as data production technique. The participants' speeches were fully transcribed and they were subjected to content analysis. This research selected the narrative fragments that could underpin the affectivity discussion in the city and the creation of places. By establishing dialogue between both investigations it can be considered if the place is established by and in the biographies that are built in the living space, it does not imply necessarily paused or rooting, but it is referred the ways how people affect and connect to the surroundings.
