Maputo: citizenship, everyday life, and public space

Abstract

The notions of citizenship, everyday life and public space are fundamental to understand the different ways of being urban in diferent contexts. Each of these notions must be analyzed based on local dynamics, between global and local processes. Through a decolonial approach, we seek to go beyond what urban theories point out when researching how the city is produced in everyday life. Territorial coloniality persists through the dimensions of being, power and knowledge. Four neighborhoods of Maputo were analyzed through the progressive-regressive method. New research methodologies and urban theories are necessary to cover such diverse cosmovisions and spatial appropriations.
