The city of Barcelona, like other cities in the world, suffers strong internal socio-economic
inequalities in its neighborhoods. Numerous works have sought to detect, quantify, characterize,
and/or map existing intra-urban differences, almost always based on quantitative methodologies.
With this contribution, we intend to show the importance that qualitative methodologies can play in
studies on urban socio-environmental vulnerability. We consider aspects that are not quantifiable but
that may be inherent to many such vulnerable spaces, both in the constructed environment and in the
social ambit. These questions are considered through selected neighborhoods of Barcelona which have
been shown (in prior works, mainly studies of quantitative manufacturing) to possess elements of
vulnerability including a high presence of immigrants from less-developed countries, low per capita
income, aging populations, or low educational levels. The results reveal the multidimensionality
of vulnerability in the neighborhoods analyzed, as well as the essential complementarity among
methodologies that detect and support possible public actions aimed at reducing or eliminating
intra-urban inequalities
