This critical note intends to analyze into the implications of defending a right to beauty in cities, taking as a starting point both the Heideggerian notion of ‘inhabiting’ and Whyte’s characterization of ‘right’. The underlying thesis is that beauty contributes to making every city a livable place, which implies certain obligations both for those who govern them and for those who inhabit them.
