    El derecho a la ciudad : su fuerza conceptual y recepción en los movimientos sociales de América Latina y Medellín
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2021) Rodríguez Mira, Henry Alveiro; Vélez Posada, Andrés Felipe
    This article analyzes the conceptual force of the right to the city and its reception in academic developments and urban practices in Latin America, paying particular attention to the case of the city of Medellín. For this purpose, a critical-genealogical methodology is used that allows addressing the history of the concept from its formulation in the work of Henri Lefebvre to its reception, appropriation and reproduction in said settings. The review of the spaces and authors through which the right to the city has transited will allow to account for the claiming potential of this concept with respect to social struggles. It should be noted that the relevance of this concept lies in its practical potential; that is, in the way it inspires social organizations to achieve changes in the city, and in its contribution to the generation of actions necessary for the transformation of existing inequalities. The article highlights the right to the city, present since the 1980s, as a relevant concept to think about the city of Medellín, in which there is evidence of a tension between international recognition and the crises caused by internal and even inequality not exceeded.
