Politics for cities, cities for the political. About possibility (and necessity) of radical urban politics
Abstract
Essay faces the problem of determinacy of global capitalism processes for the reality of urban
political life. The city is naturally communitarian form of human life and seems to be the place where radical
pro-community politics could be undertaken. Already existing and operating forms of power could fruitfully
influence the city social relations. Values and norms of conduct are broadly delegated on the urban space and
materiality, thus conscious shaping of city space has severe consequences for community life. If a crisis of the
political partly has its roots in metamorphoses of the cities, then also remedies, rising from the urban materiality
and reestablishing political subjects, could be thought. City, as most real place of political life could be either
reduced to the aggregate of consumers or reestablished as a political community. Due to this is the place where
undesired course of action could be stopped, hence precisely here the radical democratic politics can emerge.
