Le Droit à La Ville, 3e éd. by Henri Lefebvre
An influential theoretical and political essay arguing that urban space is socially produced and should be reclaimed as a collective right: inhabitants must have the power to shape the processes of urbanization and resist its commodification under capitalism. It analyzes how the built environment, everyday life, and state and market forces interact to produce social inequalities, contrasts the use-value of urban life with the exchange-value of real estate, and calls for participatory democracy, grassroots mobilization, and a radical redesign of cities to prioritize social justice, creativity, and commonality. Blending Marxist analysis, urban sociology, and philosophy, it frames the right to the city as both a critique of contemporary urbanization and a program for emancipatory urban planning.
