The Urban Revolution (by Henri Lefebvre)

Henri Lefebvre's "The Urban Revolution" explores how cities are integral to social life and economic development. Lefebvre argues that urbanization transforms societies, affecting human relationships, power dynamics, and the environment. He emphasizes the importance of understanding urban spaces not just as physical places, but as social constructs influenced by culture, politics, and capitalism. The book highlights the need for residents to reclaim their cities, advocating for a more inclusive, participatory approach to urban development that prioritizes community needs and social justice over profit-driven objectives.
