POSSIBLE WORLDS: HENRI LEFEBVRE AND THE RIGHT TO THE CITY.

“The first is easy for most: accept the inferno and become such a complete part of it that you no longer know it is there.” (para.1)

The meaning behind this quote is those people who dwell on certain things. The only way to help yourself is accept the situation and make the best out of it.

“For Lefebvre formal, legal rights are never God-given, nor are they natural rights that the framers of constitutions simply write down. Rather rights are always the outcome of political struggle.” (pg.146 para. 2)

This quote really stood out to me because I couldn’t agree more. The cost of reconciliation has to be the shed of a human sacrifice. In this case its political struggles. Meaning in order for things to get better or to have change someone or something has to give it a spark in the flame.

“The initiatives here are diverse, but in the main their goal is to argue that the right to the city should be seen as a human right, and that governments must honor that right and guarantee it for their citizens (Mayer, 2012).” (para.8)

I agree with this quote  But in my opinion I always feel like there will be some person or people who feels like the government is oppressing them and treating them unfairly. This issue will probably never be resolved.
