Right to the city against development

Abstract

The article explores how the right to the city and development are opposite categories, in permanent tension and dispute. Engaging with decolonial theory and antiracist critique, we propose to think the urban re-centralizing historically dehumanized subjects and trajectories. The analysis suggests that political and legal connection of the right to the city conception to the urban development one captures and neutralizes the potentialities of the Lefebvrian proposition.
