## Bio

David William Harvey was born on 31 October 1935 and built a career straddling geography and anthropology, eventually landing as a Distinguished Professor at CUNY's Graduate Center. His work applied Marxist analysis to urban geography and broader economic systems, arguing that the spatial organization of cities reflects and reinforces capitalist relations. That approach helped reshape modern geography as a discipline, moving it from description toward critique. By 2007, he ranked as the 18th most-cited author in the humanities and social sciences according to Thomson Reuters. He became a leading proponent of "the right to the city," the idea that urban dwellers should control the spaces they inhabit rather than surrender them to market forces.
