Critical thinking about the Right to the City: Mapping garbage routes
Through the examination of two critical analyses of garbage politics, I argue that both can benefit from the insights of a critical urban theory as developed by Marcuse, Brenner and Mayer. At the same time, I argue that bringing garbage into the analysis both underscores the importance of certain key features of critical urban theory—especially its focus on everyday life and the Right to the City as a collective moral rather than legal claim cashed out by individuals while at the same time demonstrating the importance and necessity of including a focus on environmental crises and issues that emerge in the global South.
