Abstract
From the point of view of geography, this article outlines a theoretical-methodological perspective foranalyzing urban reality based on the centrality of the category of "space production" as a constitutive moment of the path that formulates the so-called metageography. One hypothesis is developed over the course of this paper: there production process of society takes place, in the modern world, through urban space production. It is through space production that capital is attained, thus pointing out the constitution of what is urban as a business and introducing new contradictions (without ceasing to intensify other ones), which are at the basis of the struggle for space in life. This shines light on a transformation project guided by the idea of the "right to the city".
Key words:
Urban space; Metageography; Urban as a busness; Rights to the city.
