ABSTRACT
The established gates to global markets have led to a clear divide between the economic opportunities in urban areas and the emerging struggles in rural areas. The subsequent migration has fuelled the fast growth of urbanisation rates in the developing world. The framework emphasises the intersecting and interdependent nature of all realms. Henri Lefebvre’s theories on how urban spaces are the direct reflection of social spaces can be an important key to identifying the core problem of any capitalist society beyond the introduction of limited practical solutions. As a philosopher, Lefebvre approached the urban question from a holistic and elementary point of view. In his two most influential works, The Urban Revolution and The Production of Space, Lefebvre introduced his main views on urbanism, its production, its evolution and its key conflicts. According to Henri Lefebvre, each urban space has to be seen as a historic product of its society interacting with the surrounding environment.
