Started reading without really looking at the scrollbar size ๐ 27k words is almost a short book. Read half of this, really love it so far, will try to finish later. Just not too sure if Medium is best place to post such long essays, though I really appreciate it!

- Henri Lefebvre, The Right to the City โ In brief, the right to the city is the right to the production of a city. The labor of a worker is the source of most of the value of a commodity that is expropriated by the owner. The worker, therefore, has a right to benefit from that value denied to them. In the same way, the urban citizen produces and reproduces the city through their own daily actions. However, the the city is expropriated from the urbanite by the rich and the state. The right to the city is therefore the right to appropriate the city by and for those who make and remake it.
