<u>Abstract:</u><br>
The Right to the City is much more than a slogan in Latin America. The social mobilization, academic research and public debates about urban reform date back more than 50 years in the region. In some countries, national and local legal instruments and public
policies have been developed over time, including the City’s Statute in Brazil (2001) and the Mexico City Charter for the Right to the City (2010). Those processes, explicitly linked to urban reform struggles, are also inscribed in the global movement related
to the construction of and advocacy for the World Charter on the Right to the City (2005).<br>
<br>
In 1948, when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed, the world population was predominantly rural. Today, more than half of world inhabitants live in cities. What specific challenges poses the urbanization process to the “classic” human rights
approach? What are the main contents and contributions of the right to the city proposals?<br>
