Abstract

This essay explores the relationship between law and the city, with a specific focus on the reformulation of rights within the urban space, reviewing some classifications of citizenship and democracy defined in the light of their state dimension in order to assess how such theorizations can also be applied to the urban dimension. To this end, it will be necessary preliminarily to investigate the transformations that the public space (physical and symbolic) – that is, the reference framework for the configuration of rights and subjectivities – is undergoing in an urban context.
