Henri Lefebvre
Henri Lefebvre (1901-1991) was a prominent French philosopher and sociologist best known for his work on urban sociology and the concept of the social production of space. His ideas have significantly influenced the fields of geography, urban studies, and critical theory, particularly through his seminal works such as 'The Production of Space' and 'The Right to the City.' Lefebvre argued that urban spaces are not neutral entities but are shaped by social relations and power dynamics, emphasizing the importance of understanding the political and social struggles that define urban life. His insights into spatial justice and the experiences of marginalized communities continue to resonate in contemporary discussions about urbanization and social inequality.
