Purpose This paper aims to present a critical analysis of placemaking by the urban poor based on the Right to the City, Henri Lefebvre’s influential theory regarding the production of space and placemaking. Design/methodology/approach This study reflects Lefebvre’s production of space and the right to the city theories and containing three main pillars including holism, the urban and praxis, and the use of spatial dialectics. Also, for collecting information in this research, along with scrutiny of documents and books, residents of the poor settlements of Sanandaj have also been interviewed. Findings In Sanandaj, urban poor who lack formal housing reclaim the Right to City by creating informal settlements. Such settlements, such as Shohada, Baharmast and Tagh Taghan, cover 23% of the city’s area but house 69% of the urban population. Originality/value This research seeks to understand placemaking in urban slums by low-income inhabitants using Henry Lefebvre’s critical theory of social production of space and the Right to the City. This case study examines the city of Sanandaj, Iran, where most residents are poor and live in cooperative informal settlements. It illustrates how the urban poor, as marginalized inhabitants, overcome the constraints of conventional planning and property ownership to creatively and cooperatively develop communities that reflect their needs. This indicates a schism between formal and informal sectors.

场所营造与城市贫民城市的权利：以伊朗萨南达杰为例

目的本文旨在根据亨利·列菲弗尔（Henri Lefebvre）关于空间生产和场所营造的影响力理论，对城市权的影响，对城市贫民的场所营造进行批判性分析。设计/方法论/方法这项研究反映了勒费弗尔对空间的生产以及对城市理论的权利，并包含了三个主要支柱，包括整体主义，城市与实践以及空间辩证法的使用。另外，为了收集本研究中的信息以及对文件和书籍的审查，还对Sanandaj贫困住区的居民进行了采访。调查结果在Sanandaj，缺乏正规住房的城市贫困人口通过建立非正式住区来重新获得“城市权”。诸如Shohada，Baharmast和Tagh Taghan之类的定居点覆盖了该市面积的23％，却容纳了69％的城市人口。独创性/价值这项研究旨在利用亨利·列斐伏尔（Henry Lefebvre）关于社会空间生产和城市权的批判理论来理解低收入居民在城市贫民窟中的场所。本案例研究考察了伊朗Sanandaj市，该市的大多数居民都是穷人，居住在非正式合作社中。它说明了作为边缘化居民的城市贫民如何克服传统规划和财产所有权的限制，以创造性地合作发展反映他们需求的社区。这表明正式和非正式部门之间存在分裂。大多数居民贫穷并居住在非正式合作社中的地方。它说明了作为边缘化居民的城市贫民如何克服传统规划和财产所有权的限制，以创造性地合作发展反映他们需求的社区。这表明正式和非正式部门之间存在分裂。大多数居民贫穷并居住在非正式合作社中的地方。它说明了作为边缘化居民的城市贫民如何克服传统规划和财产所有权的限制，以创造性地合作发展反映他们需求的社区。这表明正式和非正式部门之间存在分裂。
