The ‘Right to the City’ as the Ideology of Radical Urban Social Movements

Summary/Abstract: The idea of the ‘right to the city’ is currently experiencing a genuine renaissance and as an ideology of urban social movements it has become one of the key political categories. It has a long tradition which is rooted in social theory, particularly within the post-Marxist theory of conflict. The article reconstructs the basic premises of the idea of ‘the right to the city’, discusses the views of its main representatives (H. Lefebvre, M. Castells, D. Harvey, N. Smith) and presents related ideas (spatial justice, urban democracy, gentrification). Moreover, the prospects of urban social movements are indicated (the Chilean pobladores, the Brazilian metropolitan movements, the anti-gentrification movement) which operate actively within the public sphere and space.
