An exploration of the problem the right to the city from the standpoint of city construction structures

Today new form of urban management structures has no choice a head but the acceptance of social structures and participation of civil society. For this reason, we can refer to the dialogue between citizenship participation and “the right to the city” as the most obvious discourse of the present century, and undoubtedly the discourse of “the right to the city” is more than anything indebted to efforts and activities of two contemporary thinkers in social and urban fields, Henry Lefebrve and David Harovey. Given the translation and recent acceptance of these two works, the boom in the discourse of “the right to the city” in Iran’s professional urban field, the question is raised how we can examine and compare the ratios of themes and structures of the production of the concepts with Iran’s cities and urban society. According to this, we may be able to refer to the review of the fundamental concepts of “the right to the city” topic and the revision of Iran’s social circumstances as one way of achieving the goal of matching “the right to the city” theories, and the first step to actually bring it into action, on course to achieve a dynamic, participatory and creative society for a sustainable city. Thus, the structure of the essay was developed based on first an exploration and observation of the concept of the right to the city within the history of Iran’s territory and its comparison with its reproduction origins in the foregoing thinkers’ ideas, second comparison of the different structures of the formation of city concept in the two areas in question, and third revision of the representations of concepts such as civil society, culture and everyday life as the foundation of credit and demand of “the right to the city”, so that a time-place entry can be created to extend the discourse coming from a foundation with a mostly European- Paris-based-Marxist nature.
