CONTRA EL DERECHO A LA CIUDAD ACCESIBLE. PERVERSIDAD DE UNA REINVINDICACIÓN CONSENSUAL

Abstract

It is important to understand that the ambiguous nature of the right to the city engenders both the risk of manipulation and tactical utility, allowing broad and unusual alliances. On the one hand, the right to the city can be reduced to the issue of accessibility to different places and city services; on the other, by reducing it to the access to the city; we can undermine the importance of production of space. This paper discusses the ambiguity of the right to the city beyond the accessibility and into other dimensions, such as the rights to participation and production of the city.
