HENRI LEFEBVRE'S INTERVENTIONS: URBAN RIGHTS VERSUS RIGHT TO THE CITY

Summary/Abstract: The problems related to the city are explained through the acceptance of the optimistic and positive effects of modernization, industrialization, nation-state, and capital accumulation processes. As a reflection of these acknowledgments, the evaluation of increasing democratic participation in cities is instrumental in maintaining its provision based on concretizing human rights in urban space. Today, urban rights correspond to increasing access to urban services and democratic participation and are referred to as a category of human rights in the city. On the other hand, critical urban studies that can be initiated with the discussions of Henri Lefebvre's right to the city from the sixties raise objections about the structuring of urban space, local democratic participation, and debates on urban rights. Although Lefebvre's concept of the right to the city has quite different contents from urban rights, the content of the concepts can be confused from time to time. This article focuses on the urbanization process of capitalist modernization and urban rights as a category of human rights within the framework of Lefebvre's interventions; It aims to reveal the contradictions between urban rights and the right to the city.
