Abstract: *Rebel Cities: From the Right to the City to the Urban Revolution* examines the evolving concept of the “right to the city” and its role in urban movements. It explores the theoretical foundations of reclaiming urban spaces for equitable access, democratic governance, and social justice. The book highlights real-world examples of grassroots uprisings, focusing on cities like London, where communities resist gentrification and housing inequality. Through theory and case studies, it emphasizes the power of collective action and envisions a more inclusive urban future, challenging readers to see cities as sites of resistance and radical transformation.
