Abstract

This article deals with the city and the urban, as social forms, according to the knowledge of the philosopher Henri Lefebvre. The aim was to present part of his comprehension about these social forms and, therefore, their trajectories along western history and the critical phase in the present time. As a result new methods of research about the city and the urban are proposed. To Lefebvre, the urban has a revolutionary potential, however, still do not perceived by sciences because of the “blind field”. We conclude asking for a discussion about city and urban in the Geography.
