Right for the city in a democratic society. Reply to Jean-Perre Garnier.

Abstract

In response to criticisms made by Jean-Pierre Garnier in his paper "Thirty objections to Horacio Capel”, the author reiterates the ideas presented in his article “Generalized Urbanization, right to the city and right for the city”. His fundamental thesis is that citizens must and can be convinced of the need for deep reforms, and that the democratic legal framework allows developing and passing laws truly innovative and even revolutionary. The city can be transformed with the law and from the law.
