Summary/Abstract: This article presents aspects of social life in two peripheral neighborhoods, classified as Marginal Urban Zones due to the low proportion of the population employed in the formal sector, the significant presence of Roma communities, and precarious living conditions. One of the neighborhoods is an old city area characterized by courtyard houses, while the other is a relatively new neighborhood defined by apartment living. By comparing the problems of these two urban communities, the study aims to highlight their specific features, shaped by population structure, housing type, and local challenges.
