The right to the city: the struggle for democracy in the urban public realm
通过分析列斐伏尔的城市权概念，论证其设想了一种彻底的城市政治共同体转型，即城市居民在没有国家和资本主义的情况下进行集体自我管理的激进民主化过程。
This paper aims to contribute to contemporary debates on governance change in the local public realm by undertaking a close analysis of Henri Lefebvre’s concept of the right to the city. I argue that when it is fully appreciated, Lefebvre’s idea imagines a thoroughgoing transformation of the city as a political community. It involves a radical democratization of cities, which Lefebvre understands to mean an ongoing and collective struggle by urban inhabitants to manage the city for themselves, without the state and without capitalism.
