Abstract
The article provides a new proposition of thinking about such categories
as a city, the urban, urban strategy and social practices connected with analytical
science of the city, which is only at the outline stage, but also projected by Lefebvre
himself. This turn seems necessary due to the death of traditional city and old
humanism. The article is also a passionate and utopian (in positive sense of term)
manifesto for democratization of right to the city consisting of cry and demand of
the dispossessed from such a prerogative. The author argues that an urban strategy
based on a new science of the city needs social support and political force. They will
be provided by the working class, putting an end to the urban segregation.
