NAVARRO MARTINEZ, Juan José. Right to the City, Unitary Urbanism and Decent Life: towards the Transformation of the Urban. Folios [online]. 2021, n.53, pp.3-17.  Epub Nov 15, 2021. ISSN 0123-4870.  https://doi.org/10.17227/folios.53-11399.

The inequalities of Latin American cities have shaped a complex spatial structure from which resistance to the State and the neoliberal model are raised. Both social movements, intellectuals and local governments have considered the so-called right to the city as the engine of change. This reflexive article aims to establish bridges of connection between Lefebvre, the Situationist International and the Chilean population movement, in order to dazzle what are the fundamental factors of the capitalist city and its possible transformation. To do this, the key elements of each of these sources will be established to end with a series of projective considerations to be taken into account. In general terms, there is a critique of hierarchical actions in the construction of urban, fragmentary and alienating space, together with a social political dispute of the territory.

Facing the city of experts and technocrats, there are the organic and solidary bonds.

Keywords : Right to the city; unitary urbanism; decent life; urban space.
