An economist, urban planner and professor of Urban Sociology at the Uiversity of Barcelona (UB) who was an anti-Franco activist and took part in local-resident struggles to improve their neighbourhoods. In addition to jointly fostering the map of the city's neighbourhoods, she was a leading light in the Federation of Barcelona Local Residents Associations (FAVB). With the aim of giving Barcelona's neighbourhoods a voice in the 1992 Olympic Games framework, she wanted to showcase that other reality which remained out of the spotlight, namely that of a city where inequality created a territorial and socio-economic divide. Her bibliography covers everything from the influence of the local-resident movement on urban planning to the socio-economic dynamics of the city's neighbourhoods, as well as social exclusion, youth in the city, the housing market and family solidarity. Thanks to the donation of around 800 documents, the UB conserves the personal archives that bear her name. Furthermore, since 2018 the Catalan Association of Political Science and Sociology Professionals awards the Miquel Caminal and Anna Alabart Prizes, which recognise the best final degree projects in a wide range of courses in the social and political spheres.
