Abstract

The aim of this paper is to outline the moment when space is converted in a constitutive element of urban problematic in the work produced by Henri Lefebvre. Throughout the twentieth century, from a turning point marked by the rupture caused by the set of transformations that announce modernity, we can grasp the crucial event. Henri Lefebvre's thought about the city and the urban is resumed, on the one hand, locating the urban in the movement from historicity to spatiality and, on the other hand, the “right to the city”, which projects thought and action to the future, extending Marxist utopia as the negative of right made a limited object within the scope of public policy.
