At first I thought this was a joke about how global warming is going to turn walkable cities into “swimmable cities”.

The idea is awesome though, why do polluters have more rights to our waterways than human beings who have always used local water to swim and bathe.

Henri Lefebvre, The Right to the City — In brief, the right to the city is the right to the production of a city. The labor of a worker is the source of most of the value of a commodity that is expropriated by the owner. The worker, therefore, has a right to benefit from that value denied to them. In the same way, the urban citizen produces and reproduces the city through their own daily actions. However, the the city is expropriated from the urbanite by the rich and the state. The right to the city is therefore the right to appropriate the city by and for those who make and remake it.
