The new neighbourhood had a military character that went beyond its architectural structure. There was a surveillance service that controlled the residents’ lives and forced them, among other forms of humiliation, to get up at the crack of dawn on holidays to clean the streets, and banned anyone who was not a registered occupant of a flat from staying in it (not even family members). The conditions in the surrounding area were also inadequate: the lighting and sewerage systems were deficient, there were no green spaces, health centres or nursery schools and the only bus line that served the area was private.
