Abstract

This paper deals with the contribution of the Anarchist Geographers Elisée Reclus and Pëtr Kropotkin to the construction of a critic urban geography, particularly through their collaboration with the Scottish planner Patrick Geddes. The sources which I analysed demonstrate that these authors, although considered today as pioneers of regional planning, gave equally a great importance to social and strategic studies of different neighbourhoods, considering the city as the place for human sociability as well as for the production of critical knowledge. Thus, the city can become the protagonist of the break out of control for the affirmation of the right not only to the city,
but also to a different society.

Key words: anarchist geographers, critical urbanism, mutual aid, right to the city.
