Abstract
An attempt to respond to the current ecological, social, political and economic crises could reside in the community-based-initiatives, considered to be key actors in the production of a convivial, socially sustainable, ecological and just city (Ayegman et al., 2003; Geels et al., 2008; Bergman et al., 2010). This poster explores how contemporary urban practices could be an expression of the right to the city. According to Henri Lefebvre (1968), this right derives from taking part in daily living and making of the city, and from meeting responsibilities which entitle citizens to participate in decision making. Urban collective practices make the kind of city we want, which is related to the kind of socialties, lifestyles and values we desire (Harvey, 2008).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
