Abstract:

The Right to the City today plays a fundamental role in the construction of urban space in contemporary cities of the 21st century, which were developed and planned according to criteria of neoliberal functionalist and economic urban models that favor the privatization of public space. This new human right has certainly become a social and political demand of growing interest in many cities around the world. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the exercise of the Right to the City from an urban perspective having as main protagonist the public space, because it is a space where this right is claimed and exercised, in addition to its different categories, its limitations and recently as it was affected during the current pandemic. The thesis focuses on the analysis of public space in the case studies of the cities of Turin, Italy, and León, Mexico as cities that share characteristics in the use of public space. This thesis raises the challenges involved in establishing the right to the city in contemporary cities and a reflection on how to rethink the public space through future public policies that stimulate alliances between different actors and citizens in favor of building more inclusive and equitable cities that can guarantee the Right to the City in public space for all citizens.
