8. “Once embedded in the published text the lines
on the map acquire an authority that may be
hard to dislodge. Maps are authoritarian images.
Without our being aware of it maps can
reinforce and legitimate the status quo.”
(Harley 1989, 14)

a right to the city?

56. “The right to the city is far more than the individual

precious yet most neglected of our human rights.”
- Harvey 2008
