Abstract:

The city is a direct manifestation of the complex relationship between society and space which embodies the economic relationship and social structure. David Harvey's integrated criticism of Marxist political economy shows the role of capitalist production methods on the shape and form of urban space. Capitalist urban space is becoming increasingly fragmented hierarchical and alienated manifesting and exacerbating social injustice and inequality. Harvey takes urban issues into consideration from the perspective of the globalization of capitalism and expands the imagination of space-time utopia and the future urban world with a theoretically optimistic attitude which provides us with useful ideas for understanding the social attributes of urban space and actively constructing socialist space justice.

Key words: David Harvey, city, justice, dialectical space-time Utopia
