At the 2022 @gpmayors summit, we examined how cities can lead on democratic and inclusive change. But how do cities ensure inclusivity? "Reclaiming the Right to the City" explores the themes of spatial inequality with a fresh perspective. Read the report: bit.ly/3HLkA1F

Reclaiming the Right to the City

In this report edited by Ian Klaus and Samuel Kling, a diverse set of experts examine the question of rights in, and to, the city in a wide and exciting array of geographies and contexts.
