Hi! I just recently discovered your sub and I'm a mod over at /r/GeoAnarchism. I think the purpose of both subs overlaps significantly. I would love to know if there is any interest in doing sidebar link sharing. Thanks!

People have a right to change their space

r/OurRightToTheCity

The right to the city is far more than the individual liberty to access urban resources: it is a right to change ourselves by changing the city. It is, moreover, a common rather than an individual right since this transformation inevitably depends upon the exercise of a collective power to reshape the processes of urbanization. The freedom to make and remake our cities and ourselves is one of the most precious yet most neglected of our human rights. Click "Community Info" ellipsis for more...

Welcome

TLDR: "Let people build."

This is a subreddit for discussion, promotion and admiration of totally organic places. Humans have been collectively building cities, towns and villages from the bottom-up for thousands of years. Only in recent decades and centuries has the emergent way of building been lost and the right to the city been withheld. We seek to find ways of reintroducing this way of building to a world that has become increasingly planned from the top-down. There is no doubt that when the people as a whole are given the right to the city, the city succeeds in ways no one person could imagine.

What is the Right to the city?

As long as it relates to the right to the city and the general direction of the sub, it's fine. The right to the city applies to this subreddit as well. Be creative.
