The alienating production of cities has advanced through state-political actions increasingly aligned with neoliberal rationality. This fact, among other characteristics, contributed to extend the contradiction between the process of social production of space and its private appropriation. In this sense, the right to the city has been a term increasingly used by different subjects as possibility to reaffirm also contradictory emancipation projects (political emancipation and human emancipation) that support different models of democracy. Therefore, starting from a (meta)geographical analysis, in which we consider the right to the city as a radical concept in a homonymous work written by Henri Lefebvre, we would be in the face of a contradictory process of trivialization-potentiation of this still fundamental concept to (re)think the urban alienation. In this sense, in relation to concrete experiences, we would still be at the margins of social and political organization forms that materialize all the radicality contained and expressed in this concept originally presented by Henri Lefebvre. As historical subjects we would be (still) at the margins of the right to the city when considering the limits and boundaries of the different projects of democracy contained in the contradictory projects of political emancipation and human emancipation and their relations with praxis committed to the production of space from the dialectic between the possible-impossible. We believe that the radical critique proposed by metageography would allow us to think about the production of space through a theoretical and methodological path committed to the reaffirmation of the radicality contained in the concept of the right to the city developed by Henri Lefebvre.
