If you have built castles in the air,
your work need not be lost;
that is where they should be.
Now put the foundations under them
Henry David Thoreau, Walden
The Right to The City was an exhibition and publishing project, cosponsored by Tin Sheds Gallery and Architectural Theory Review. It brought together a series of artistic, theoretical and philosophical escape plans. These escape plans ranged from the whimsical to the more serious, and present real or imagined ways of reinventing life in our cities. The project explored the challenge of putting foundations under these castles in the air - seeking connections between art, architecture, philosophy and action.
In thinking through those connections, The Right to the City takes as its starting point David Harveys famous article that redefined urban existence as a contested part of modern democracy: The freedom to make and remake our cities and ourselves is, I want to argue, one of the most precious yet most neglected of our human rights. Given the perilous environmental predicament we find ourselves in, coupled with our intensifying urbanization, many artists, activists, planners and architects are seeking ways to remake the city in more socially connected and sustainable ways. These activities are often concerned with negotiating the increasing fragmentation and complexity of the contemporary city; developing critical spatial practices that engage in micro-political actions. The Right to the City brings together an ambitious collection of artistic and written works that explore these urban interventions opening up a space in which possibilities for re-imagining life in the city can be discussed.
