Henri Lefebvre, The Right to the City — 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.

“Every year summers are hotter and heat waves more frequent, with cities suffering most. A network of climate shelters in Barcelona isn’t only making people more comfortable, it’s also saving lives.”

Did you want to link an article or video by DW? The link is just the image for me. If so, thankfully, you can still edit it in Lemmy.

I edited it to add the video! Sorry about that! I posted it on my phone, and thought it worked, but it didn't.

Easy mistake to make, thanks for sharing the video :)
