This book is realized on the occasion of the exhibition 'Sabine Bitter & Helmut Weber: Right To The City' at the Landesgalerie Linz am Oberösterreichischen Landesmuseum, Linz, 9 July to 13 September, 2009. An artist book by Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber based on an unpublished, original text by French philosopher and urbanist Henri Lefebvre, which is printed as a facsimile. In his urban vision for New Belgrade, the capital of former Yugoslavia founded in 1948, Lefebvre emphasizes the processes and potentials of self-organization, of the people of any urban territory to counter the failed concepts of urban planning from above. For Lefebvre, at this late point in his life, the promises of both modernist capitalist as well as state socialist architecture and city planning had failed
