We're hoping to round up a bit more on Right to the City/Urban Reform activities at the recent World Social Forum in Belem (please send us links if you have them!), but in the meantime, you can check out a transcript of David Harvey's speech, courtesy of Vice Magazine, of all places.

Meanwhile, an english translation of the urban "convergence" document from the WSF has appeared: Declaration of urban movements and networks against the crisis and promoting the Right to the City during WSF in Belém

There's also been an interesting text circulating investigating two conceptions of this "The Right to the City" notion in the context of the WSF urban convergence declaration: check it out at reclaiming spaces

In the September/October issue of New Left Review, David Harvey provides an overview of urban development, its historical and current relationship to a now globalized capitalist crisis and the concomitant dimensions of urban class struggle (dispossession versus the fight for the right to city).
