Abstract

The debate on urban justice identifies the space of the city as a substratum equivalent to the reproductive world. Specifically, urbanization is described as the result of a surplus of production; therefore, an effect of what happens inside capitalist property. In this way, finally, the private company is discarded from the urban debate. This text identifies the ethical foundations in the literature on socio-spatial justice vs. capitalist private property, problematizing the invisibility of the latter in the imaginary of the debate. This implies taking a position on the imperative and dilemma between expanding or limiting urban justice in front the means of production for human development.
