How can the set of rights that underpin the notion of the "right to
the city" be advanced? In seeking answers to this question over
several decades, social mobilizations have been assembled and new
political and legal frameworks promoted. New interpretations and
political articulations of the right to the city, especially those
that have emerged since the end of the 2000s, encourage us to view
it through the lens of identity politics. They propose that
attention should be given to the diversity of the social groups
that live in urban environments, whose voice and agency must be
recognized in the construction of the city in the interests of
equality and social justice. Addressing these issues not only
involves recognizing and valuing the subjects that have
historically been marginalized in the construction of urban space,
both physical and symbolic. It also means bearing in mind that the
city materializes and is experienced in a different way by the
different groups that inhabit it through their practices, uses of
it and, in short, how their daily life takes shape. Advancing Urban
Rights will help both concerned citizens and policy makers identify
and analyze redistribution and recognition policies, institutional
change, and social production of the city in an increasingly urban
world.
