Abstract (EN): Youth cultures and their place in the city are a favourite topic of social scientists, with more than a century of research existing on this subject. This chapter begins with a diachronic conceptualization of the concept of youth and youth cultures in their different modes of transition to adulthood, considering their disruptive and deviant tendencies in relation to the prevailing norms. We identify the main recent approaches based on the inclusive power of the arts regarding the possibilities of inclusion of youth cultures in the city and the prevention of crime and deviance, thus examining the main approaches, methodologies and projects based on arts-based research, highlighting their potential to create a strategy of social cohesion and sustainable development.
