Abstract

This is the vision presented by Cláudio Carvalho and Raoni Rodrigues, regarding the
“Right to the City”. Inspired by the book Henri Lefebvre French philosopher and sociologist,
writer of the book “Le droit à la ville”, translated into Portuguese as “Right to the City”, the book
deals with the converging forces disposed within the city that compete to organize its layout, guide
its management especially in favor of the respective interests. It also deals with the valuation
distortion that the expression, title of the book has suffered, being necessary a rescue of the real
meaning and the founding values of the right to the city. The authors also point to the cooptation
of the political class in favor of capitalist interests, and the need for a recovery of popular strength,
in order to guarantee in fact the democratic management of the city.
