Spanish term or phrase: demandar espacios
On a document relating to an urban development programme:

"En ese sentido, sin violentar las realidades nacionales, principalmente por el “modus operandi” el Programa ha logrado ofrecer una visión más amplia y vigorosa de la figura y capacidad del gobierno local, tanto para demandar espacios, como para cumplir nuevas funciones en tiempos en que crecen con gran dinamismo las formas de organización de la sociedad civil."
