"THE RIGHT TO YOUR CITY": A PROJECT OF THE EPISTEMOLOGICAL URBAN STUDIES

Within the framework of a new interdisciplinary scientific scien-tific field - epistemological urbanism - the authors develop the idea of the human right to their city and show the epistemolog-ical nature of this right, which is explained by the fact that it is conditioned by the processes of cognition and scientific com-munication. Three main provisions are substantiated. Firstly, the city is an intelligent system. "The right to your city" is a spe-cific right to scientific and intellectual production and consump-tion. Such a right is not realized in every locality designated as a city, but only where there are conditions for intellectual dy-namics - where art, education and science are developing. Se-condly, the intellectual system of the city has autonomy. Each city has its own intellectual resource. Realizing the right to their city, citizens are involved in the activity of the city's scientific and intellectual autonomy. In other words, a city where there are opportunities to realize the "right to the city" generates an autonomous scientific school or a set of scientific schools. Thirdly, cities (we are talking only about those cities where the right to their own city is realizable) how research centers form a scientific network. Not a scientific consortium with com-mon ideas and goals, but a network based on the princi-ples of proliferation. The authors insist on the decentralization of science not for the purpose of its enclavization, but for the purpose of developing the potential, multi-vector and intel-lectual self-realization of urban communities themselves. It is shown that the development of science as a whole (at the glo-bal or state levels) can be ensured by the heterogeneity of sci-ence itself (in this case, due to the development of urban universities): integration and differentiation give rise to an inte-gration scientific and communicative process.
