Interview with David Harvey performed by our colleagues Ecosistema Urbano about the concept of sustainability and social movements. Harvey is one of the greats of modern geography, a reference thinker and researcher, with a clear stance against inequality and injustice generated by capitalist system. In his own words:
“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. It is, moreover, a common rather than an individual right since this transformation inevitably depends upon the exercise of a collective power to reshape the processes of urbanization. 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.”
His message is:
“Think about it, get active, really start to work with social movements because that’s where the changes going to come from.”
