Cities for the Right to the City

Cities for the Right to the City is a movement advocating that all residents, especially marginalized groups, should have a say in how urban spaces are planned and used. It emphasizes that cities should be equitable, inclusive, and accessible, ensuring people can live, work, and participate fully regardless of their socio-economic status. The idea challenges unfair development that displaces vulnerable communities and promotes active community engagement to shape urban environments that meet everyone’s needs. Ultimately, it seeks to transform cities into spaces of social justice, democracy, and shared ownership.
