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.

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.

The article analyzes two urban novels Cwaniary by Sylwia Chutnik and Królowa Salwatora by Emma Popik. Both present the vision of city as an affective place. Their strongest similarity is in the way they project emotions upon the city and the transformations of public space which they document. The author of the article proposes to concentrate on a number of questions. These include the affective experience of urban space, polis as the space of ideological tensions, relationship between the centre and periphery, postmodern understanding of locality, and finally, the status of a district as the site of settling in, which allows one to claim “the right to the city”.

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.

ResumoO presente estudo tem por escopo demonstrar a importância da imediata adoção de medidas de política urbana visando à universalização do acesso à internet e à inclusão digital, como forma de garantir o direito transindividual e transgeracional à cidade, notadamente após a pandemia do novo coronavírus, que acentuou e colocou em voga o fosso de desigualdade social entre os indivíduos que possuem e os que não possuem acesso à rede mundial de computadores em seu domicílio dentro de espaços geográficos que deveriam ofertar as mesmas condições aos seus habitantes. A esse efeito, é salientada inicialmente a importância da internet no contexto da atual sociedade de informação, assim como é demonstrada a desigualdade digital que assola o espaço urbano brasileiro. Após, o direito à cidade é apresentado como fundamento normativo de garantia da inclusão digital nas cidades brasileiras e é evidenciada a imprescindibilidade da adoção de medidas pelo poder público com o objetivo de promover a inclusão digital.Com essa finalidade, adotou-se a metodologia dedutiva e a técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica. Desse modo, concluiu-se que o acesso à internet constitui peça chave do desenvolvimento humano na era digital, sendo urgente a adoção de políticas públicas de democratização do acesso à internet, ao efeito de nivelar as oportunidades e possibilitar a equalização das desigualdades sociais.Palavras-chave: Desigualdade; Exclusão Digital; Direito à cidade; COVID-19; Internet. AbstractThe present study aims to demonstrate the importance of the immediate adoption of urban policy measures aiming at universal access to the internet and digital inclusion, as a way to guarantee the transindividual and transgenerational right to the city, notably after the pandemic of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) that accentuated and put the gap in social inequality between individuals who own and those who don’t have access to the internet at home within geographic spaces that should offer the same conditions to their inhabitants. To this effect, the importance of the internet in the current information society is highlighted, as well as the digital inequality that plagues the Brazilian urban space is demonstrated. Afterwards, the right to the city is presented as a normative basis for guaranteeing digital inclusion in Brazilian cities and the necessity of adopting measures by the government in order to promote digital inclusion is evidenced. For this purpose, the deductive methodology and the bibliographic research technique were adopted. It was concluded that access to the internet is a key part of human development in the digital age, and it is urgent to adopt public policies to democratize internet access, with the effect of leveling opportunities and enabling equalization of social inequalities.Keywords: Inequality; Digital Exclusion; Right to the city; COVID-19; Internet.

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.

City, is consisting of a series continuous or intermittent public space images, and every image for each of our people living in the city is varied: may be as awesome as forbidden city Meridian Gate, like Piazza San Marco as a cordial and pleasant space and might also be like Manhattan district of New York, which makes people excited and enthusiastic. To see why, people have different feelings because the public urban space ultimately belongs to democratic public space, people live and have emotions in it. In such domain, people can not only be liberated, free to enjoy the pleasures of urban public space, but also enjoy urban life which is brought by the city's charm through highlighting the vitality of the city with humanism atmosphere. To a conclusion, no matter how ordinary the city is, a good image of urban space can also bring people pleasure.

This paper presents an English case of urban agriculture, the Edible Public Space Project in Leeds, contextualised in a context of urban agriculture initiatives committed to social-environmental justice, to the reproduction of common goods and the promotion of an urban planning which promotes the right to food and to the construction of urban space from the bottom up. The case study emerged as the result of action-research at the crossroads between urban planning policies, community work and critical geography. As opposed to many similar initiatives, the Edible Public Space Project is not intended merely as a temporary initiative hidden within the tiny folds of the city, but rather as an experiment which imagines and implements alternatives to current forms of urban planning within those folds and it contextualises them in the light of the ecological, fi nancial and social crisis of the last decade.

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.
