Resumen:
Henri Lefebvre (1901-1991) was a French intellectual, a prolific and polemical author. From 1966 to 1978, he developed urban research exploring the social production of space. Some of his key writings such as Le droit á la ville (1968), Du rural à l?urbain (1970), La révolution urbaine (1970), La pensée marxiste et la ville (1972), Espace et politique (Le droit à la ville, II) (1973), La production de l?espace (1974) reached a large audience of architects and city planners. His thinking and writing style provokes questions without defining categories, fostering a wide range of later appropriations of his production on the urban space. With the translation of some of these works to English, he became a key figure in critical geography in the Anglosphere. Furthermore, the polysemic notion of ?the right to the city? became a reference point for the actions of social movements crossing the frontiers between the academic world and social organisations.
