FIGURE 6. THE FIVE PHASES OF THE RIGHT TO THE CITY MOVEMENT IN CROATIA.

The presented analytical narrative captures how, by carefully selecting the targets of their contention, the Right to the City movement managed over time to elaborate a coherent critique of privatisation and commodification of public space and expose the systemic trends of market-driven development behind ostensibly local political dynamics. By prioritising political confrontation and consciously applying its principles of tactical shapeshifting and networking, it exhibited a remarkable capacity for metamorphosis and hence managed to avoid both institutionalisation and dissipation. After the initial three phases, which evidenced a growing confrontation with the City of Zagreb, the movement shifted its attention to the national and regional arenas, providing resources and expertise to other urban struggles, as well as investing considerable efforts in engendering the ‘We won’t give up our highways’ coalition with unions and national union associations.
