Prevo na grad : kritička misao o urbanom prostoru

Predmet ovoga rada je teorijski koncept pravo na grad kojeg je prvi put predložio francuski filozof i sociolog Henri Lefebvre u osvit društvenih previranja 1968. godine. Pokušaj da kritički analiziramo i objasnimo koncept prava na grad zahtijeva uvid u bogatu teorijsku raspravu koja je značajno odredila nove paradigme sociološke imaginacije o prostornoj dimenziji društvenoga života. Ta ista rasprava je doprinijela i utemeljenju nove urbane sociologije. Zbog toga ovaj rad razmatra koncepcije o prostoru kao društvenom proizvodu, o proizvodnji prostora kao mehanizmu reprodukcije proizvodnih kapitalističkih odnosa, o gradu kao mjestu akumulacije viška vrijednosti i proizvodnje prostorne nepravde te o mogućnostima iznalaženja novih shvaćanja društvene pravde i ljudskih prava, onkraj njihova neoliberalnog tumačenja. Rad posebno dovodi u vezu stvaralaštvo Henrija Lefebvrea, Manuela Castellsa i Davida Harveya kroz pokušaj komplementarne upotrebe njihovih ideja i teorija u prostornoj analizi suvremenog društva. Rad nudi otvorenu i pluralnu definiciju koncepta prava na grad kroz ispitivanje teze može li podijeljeni grad postati pravedni grad, te kroz ispitivanje načina na koje pravo na grad izaziva i dovodi u pitanje pojedine dogme neoliberalnog kapitalizma.The subject of this paper is a theoretical concept of the right to the city, for the first time proposed by French philosopher and sociologist Henri Lefebvre in the context of social movements of 1968. An attempt to critically analyze and explain the concept of the right to the city demands an insight into the theoretical discussion which has notably determined new paradigms of the sociological imagination of the spatial dimension of social life. The same discussion has contributed to the foundation of the new urban sociology. This paper thus considers the conception of space as a social product, the production of space as a mechanism of the reproduction of social relations of production in capitalism, the city as a place of accumulation of the surplus value and as a place of production of the spatial injustice, and, finally, the possibilities of different understanding of social justice and human rights than the ones proposed by its neoliberal interpretation. This paper focuses on the theories of Henri Lefebvre, Manuel Castells and David Harvey in an attempt of complementary usage of their ideas in the spatial analysis of the contemporary society. Conclusion of the paper offers an open and plural definition of the concept of the right to the city, at the same time examining the thesis whether the dual city could become a just city and explaining the ways in which the right to the city challenges and questions specific dogmas of the neoliberal capitalism
