Henri Lefebvre (Hagetmau, France, 1901 – Navarrenx, 1991) was a French philosopher and sociologist, known for his contributions to humanist Marxism and the critique of everyday life. Throughout his career, he wrote over 60 works covering topics such as urbanization, the production of space, and modernity. Among his most influential books are Critique of Everyday Life (1947), The Right to the City (1968), The Urban Revolution (1970), and The Production of Space (1974). These works have been fundamental in disciplines such as sociology, geography, and urban studies.

Lefebvre introduced key concepts such as the "right to the city" and the idea that space is a social construct, challenging traditional notions of urban planning. His dialectical approach and critique of capitalism have influenced social and academic movements, especially in the context of the May 1968 student revolts in France. His legacy continues in contemporary debates about spatial justice and the role of the citizen in shaping the urban environment.
