برای موضوعی دارم گزارشی با عنوان
"Urban Policies and the Right to the City
Rights, responsibilities and citizenship" [+]
را مرور می کنم که دفتر اسکان بشر ملل متحد (UN HABITAT) آن را منتشر کرده در 2009. به این جملات بر می خورم:

"The role of public space is crucial in defining the right to the city (Brown 2006: 18). Where rights are defined by private property, public space—as the space for representation— takes on exceptional importance, but is increasingly policed and controlled (Mitchell 2003: 34). If, by increasing security, democratic space is destroyed then in whose interest is the city being secured?

‘Se Tomaron Las Calles’ [they claim the streets], John Friedman wrote after visiting the fiesta of Santiago and Santa Ana in Tudela, Spain, where the whole population celebrates—wearing white, waving red banners and racing round the bandstand. He suggested that there are only two occasions when people claim the streets, to protest against an oppressive State, or to celebrate."

این دومی بدجور باعث برق گرفته گی مان شد!
