- 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.

@ajsadauskas looks cozy!
@petrescatraian @ajsadauskas@pixelfed.social It was taken just near Aušros Vartai (literally "Dawn Gates"), which are the historic main city gates for the Vilnius Old Town.
And given there's some great bars and cafes nearby (and slightly further north, past the old town hall), serving delicious Cepelinai, who wouldn't want to stop by?
@ajsadauskas Superb. Are there a lot of pubs, cafés, restaurants or the likes in the old city as well? 😁 Or are things more balanced, so to say, also with some shops of any kind?
@ajsadauskas
@petrescatraian @ajsadauskas@pixelfed.social Countless restaurants, bars, and cafes. Lots of other small stores too, from clothes to jewellery to cosmetics to tourist stuff to local grocery stores to tourist paraphernalia. And all manner of cuisines — but I think it would be a mistake to visit Vilnius and not have Cepeliniai ☺️
@ajsadauskas got to try that 😁 here the old town pretty much felt prey to club/pub/restaurant owners 😁 Basically people go in the center not to walk around and enjoy, but to drink 🙁
