The study proposes a critical analysis of the social representations of childhood and motherhood through a neoliberal lens, examining how these constructs affect women and children in shared social spaces, guided by the perspective of social reproduction theory and care policies. It highlights the contradiction between the discursive valorization and practical exclusion of childhood, exemplified by policies such as "childfree" environments, which reinforce adultcentrism and child marginalization, underscoring structural inequalities and their impact on urban life
