Expansion

[edit]

I was wondering if there's anyone interested in adding to this article? From what I recall from my own reading of David Harvey's article, he emphasizes that this is a collective rather than individual human right. This is a significant point that I think could be mentioned in here. Is there anyone else out there with some ideas for improving this? Yaminator talk 23:12, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Yaminator: This article is too short. It doesn't even attempt to describe the key quality of Lefebvre's concept. Instead, there is too much written about a rather irrelevant remark of a not THAT important human geographer, a Marcelo Lopes de Souza. This statement has too much weight, it actually smells funny, biased even. While statements by theory-heavy weights like Peter Marcuse (From critical urban theory to the right to the city), Margit Meyer, Andreji Holm, Neil Brenner, to name just a few, are not even mentioned. As I am not a native speaker I'd rather not extend the article, however, I find the German page on the same issue a lot better: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recht_auf_Stadt --Sun Wukong (talk) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Sun_Wukong 00:20, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm currently writing an MSc dissertation using the Right to the City so I'll work on this page whenever I have time. Fivebeans (talk) 18:31, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

[edit]

In particular the migrants and refugees section of the article, it seems to basically be presenting Lefebvre as the final word, which would be more fine if it was limited to the theory, but it's difficult to pick that apart. Most concerningly, part of that section is literally written as contention in the first person. I don't know enough about this field to rewrite, but I think it's needed.
