“The right to the city is far more than the individual liberty to access urban resources: it is a right to change ourselves by changing the city.

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.”

It is high time for the worker to assert his right to the common inheritance, and to enter into possession of it.”

He must ring true.”

...Asking for respect will never get you any respect at all.
But seeking and demanding representation will give you self-respect and the true respect you deserve.”
