Abstract

This essay serves as an introduction to the Special Issue entitled Right to the City: a theoretical problem and an empirical necessity. The text is divided into two parts. First, we critically review the academic literature that informs directly the idea of the city as a socio-spatial and political dynamic, in other words, a continual production designed by different social actors. We focus on contemporary perspectives from the Social Sciences, which, beginning with Lefebvre, reckon the “right to the city” as a field of disputes and negotiations. Second, we summarize the essays in relation to the proposed epistemology of the dossier.
