- Henri Lefebvre, The Right to the City — In brief, the right to the city is the right to the production of a city. The labor of a worker is the source of most of the value of a commodity that is expropriated by the owner. The worker, therefore, has a right to benefit from that value denied to them. In the same way, the urban citizen produces and reproduces the city through their own daily actions. However, the the city is expropriated from the urbanite by the rich and the state. The right to the city is therefore the right to appropriate the city by and for those who make and remake it.

This is a really good information dense video, thanks for sharing!
Urban and suburban agriculture is definitely something we should focus on for long term habitability of our spaces. We probably should have been doing it the whole time but the second best time to start is now.
We already kind of do but it's all fucking grass. You could just repurpose 90% of Lawns outside of parks to Garden space and you would be halfway there
