Right to the city become one of essential point in New Urban Agenda discussion, as the adoption of Sustainable Development Goals which includes point 11 on Sustainable Cities and Human Settlements. Right to the city is a concept which encloses political power, land ownership, and social justice within globalized cities which run into rapid change. Lefebvre describes the right to the city as people cry and demand a transformed and renewed urban life. Participation is seen as a basic right in the concept of the right to the city. This article drawing on a study case of relocation of Malioboro’s parking attendants. The relocation itself was one of the policies to revitalize tourism area along Malioboro street. In the process, there are some resistances from Malioboro’s parking attendants emerge as their concern on their sustainability after the relocation into the new place. Based on the field research, this article concludes that the process of participation that occurs does not meet up with parking attendants aspiration and the process is ruined by the government. Public participation is ineffective at the process and ruined as the government intervention in Malioboro parking attendants organization. The ineffectiveness of public participation is due to the logic of technocratic participation and the government's informal approach to some parking attendants.

El siguiente escrito es una revisión bibliográfica que se desarrolla en función de tres conceptos claves de Lefebvre: El Derecho a la Ciudad, El Control Social y el Espacio Urbano; concebidos en el marco de sus líneas de investigación y orientación marxista. La investigación pretende emplear apreciaciones del autor en mención, enmarcadas en el acontecer de la ciudad en la actualidad, y trasladar a la relectura de problemáticas puntuales en dos ciudades latinoamericanas: Cuenca-Ecuador y Córdoba-Argentina. A partir del Derecho a la Ciudad definido por Lefebvre; se realiza una crítica, al trazado de la nueva área de planificación urbanística en Cuenca, basado en principios funcionalistas, que ha jerarquizado la circulación vehicular, en detrimento del uso peatonal del espacio público. En la misma línea de la crítica de la modernidad, el control social se manifiesta en un sector de la ciudad de Córdoba, el predio de la Casa de Gobierno. Analizar problemáticas en contextos similares, pero a la vez con diferentes escalas de ciudad, permiten validar las tesis y reflexiones de Lefebvre en su época para la planificación de ciudades contemporáneas, cuyos modelos de desarrollo han tenido como consecuencia deficiencias en la vida urbana. Palabras clave: Ciudades, control social, Derecho a la ciudad, espacio urbano, vida urbana. AbstractThe following piece of writing is a bibliographic review that was developed from three key concepts of Lefebvre: Right to the City, Social Control and Urban Space. It was conceived within the framework of his lines of research and Marxist orientation. The research intends to use the author's appreciations in mention, framed in the events of the city at present, and to transfer to the re-reading of specific problems in two Latin American cities: Cuenca-Ecuador and Córdoba-Argentina. Based on the right to the city defined by Lefebvre, a critique was made of the new urban planning area in Cuenca, based on functionalist principles, which has hierarchized vehicle circulation to the detriment of the pedestrian use of public space. Under the same line of the criticism of modernity, social control was manifested in a sector of the city of Córdoba, the Government House site. Problems in similar contexts were analyzed, but at the same time with different city scales. It allowed us to validate Lefebvre's thesis and reflections in his time for the planning of contemporary cities, whose development models have resulted in deficiencies in urban life. Keywords: Cities, social control, Right to the city, urban space, urban life.

Is the Right to the City (RTTC) still a useful framework for a transformative urban politics? Given recent scholarly criticism of its real-world applications and appropriations, in this paper, we argue that the transformative promise in the RTTC lies beyond its role as a framework for oppositional struggle, and in its normative ends. Building upon Henri Lefebvre's original writing on the subject, we develop a “radical-cooperative” conception of the RTTC. Such a view, which is grounded in the lived experiences of the current city, envisions an urban society in which inhabitants can pursue their material and social needs through self-governed cooperation across social difference. Growing and diversifying spaces and sectors of urban life that are decoupled from global capitalism are, we argue, necessary to create space for this inclusionary politics. While grassroots action is essential to this process, so is multi-scalar support from the state.

This chapter argues that inclusion in a city or neighborhood requires more than the right to physically reside in it; it requires what Henri LeFebvre, Don Mitchell, and others have called the “right to the city.” The right to the city is not just a formal right to be inside a city without being thrown out; it should be conceived, according to this chapter, as a right to inhabit the city. This requires that we have voice and authority within a city; that we be able to participate in tinkering with it and remaking it; and that we belong in it rather than just perching in it. The chapter explores the complex relationships between public spaces, inclusive spaces, and the right to the city. It examines what sorts of spaces city dwellers need in order to have a flourishing urban life and exercise their spatial agency. It explores some of the barriers that different kinds of bodies face to being included in urban spaces and speculates about what it would take to build a more just and inclusive city.

Susser and Tonnelat’s article on the three urban commons is both visionary and heartening. Its counterpastoral polemic glorifies urban modes of sociality and the forms of common property fostered by urban life. The authors find in cities communities of experience that cross class lines and create inadvertent coalitions around shared problems. They argue that specific components of what has been called “the right to the city” need to be understood as “commons”—collective property that is neither fully public nor private but shared by individuals as they go about everyday life in urban settings.

AbstractThere is now a well-established ‘spatial turn in law’. However, it remains oriented towards notions of space rather than law. How, then, to capture both the spatiality of law and the legality of space? This article draws on Bruno Latour's concept of the legal construction of the ‘social’ to explore the assemblage of the city of law. It shows how law functions as a particular form of association in urban life by tracing two key forms of urban legal association in London, the city of law. The first form is ‘legal ordering’. This seeks to order urban life through domination, and includes citadel law, police law and laws of exception. The second is ‘legal consociations’, which build new forms of urban life, such as urban rights, the rights of the city and the right to the city. Finally, the article explores the creation of a spatial justice that can build more just legal associations.

O espaço urbano, marcado por um histórico processo de produção desigual, materializa-se em cidades cindidas socialmente, fragmentadas em sua estrutura, ambientalmente insustentáveis e que proporcionam uma qualidade de vida muito aquém do que poderiam. Se, por um lado, são notórios os problemas urbanos, com consequente redução do direito à cidade, por outro lado vemos a cidade se tornar cada vez mais complexa e a tecno-ciência se expandindo, ganhando capilaridade e adentrado nas ações mais simples da vida urbana. Considerando estes dois elementos chaves para o debate sobre a vida urbana, busca-se com este artigo estabelecer reflexões em torno do inexorável avanço técnico nas cidades e suas relações com o direto à cidade. A partir de referenciais bibliográficos que permitem articular os dois temas propostos, considera-se que o avanço tecnológico, em que pese o controle que pode estabelecer sobre o cotidiano nas cidades, guarda a potencialidade de se tornar importante ferramenta para ações que fortaleçam o direito à cidade.Palavras-Chave: Direito à Cidade; Racionalidade Técnica; Planejamento Urbano; Espaço Urbano.The urban space, written by a historical process of unequal production, materialize social demerged cities, fragmented structure, unsustainable and promotes the quality of life below it could does. If one way, the urban problems are notorious and it results to atrophy of right to the city, on another way, the cities became more complex and the techno-science expands on the cities and reach to more simple action in the daily urban life. Considering these two fundamental points, this paper establishes thoughts about the inexorable technical process on the cities and its relation with the right to the city. From the bibliographic references, which make possible articulate these two themes, the paper consider that the technological advances, despite the problems about control of the citizen’s daily life, is an important tools and has the potentiality of aid to right to the city realized.Key Words: Right to the City; technical rationality; Urban Planning; Urban Space.

Carnaval faz parte da cultura popular do Brasil. Entretanto, em algumas regiões a festa não recebe tanto destaque quanto em outras. No município de Santa Cruz do Sul, localizado no Vale do Rio Pardo/RS, a realização do tradicional carnaval de rua de escolas de samba e blocos é motivo de disputas entre sociedades carnavalescas, poder público e iniciativa privada. O artigo discute estas disputas por meio do estudo dos dois carnavais de rua que ocorrem na cidade, um, a Descida da Júlio, que surge inicialmente como resistência a alterações no carnaval de rua tradicional propostas pela prefeitura municipal. Outro, o Bailinho de Carnaval da Borges, que nasceu da inovação de empresários locais. Estas duas alternativas são analisadas como meios para discutir as tensões no campo cultural, através da principal festa popular nacional, tendo ao fundo as questões de identidade e o direito à cidade. O artigo se orienta pela teoria dos estudos culturais, em diálogo com a literatura sobre desenvolvimento urbano e regional. Baseia-se em revisão de literatura e análise documental.

Carnival is part of popular culture in Brazil. However, in some regions of the country, this party is not given as much prominence as in others. In the municipality of Santa Cruz do Sul, in Vale do Rio Pardo/RS, the traditional street carnival, with samba schools and blocks, is the subject of disputes between carnival clubs, the government, and the private sector. This article discusses these disputes through the analysis of the two street carnivals that take place in town: the one known as Descida da Júlio, which initially emerges as an act of resistance to changes in the traditional street carnival proposed by the local government; and the one known as Bailinho de Carnaval da Borges, the result of an innovative initiative of local business owners. These two alternatives are analyzed as a means to discuss tensions in the cultural context, through the main national popular festival, having as background matters related to identity and the right to the city. This article follows the theory of cultural studies, in dialogue with the literature on urban and regional development. It is based on literature review and document analysis. The results indicate existing social fissures in the municipality and different society projects. Carnival;. Identity; Popular cultures; Right to the city.

Do So

The study attempts to discover elements of learning by practicing the right to the city through the embodiment and re-articulation of the identity of the flâneuse. In this urban investigation, we will explore perspectives that emerge from the city, how they are connected to specific city sites, and how they form our becomings, having in mind the gendered division of urban life. In order to do so, we will engage in reflexive wandering and performing in the city. Learning that unfolds with this action is a bodily and sensorial process of reading the layers of public spaces in the city. As wandering implies a turn off the main road, the learning process is marked by unpredictability and meandering. It does not follow a familiar path that leads to specific learning outcomes, but involves a journey through unknown and unowned places. We aim to describe learning that evolves by wandering around the side roads of Belgrade by mapping the experiences of the three authors. The research also involves reminiscences of the wandering of women in Belgrade that we want to re-enact and document.
