Current debates in radical urban studies and comparative urbanism focus in part on the denunciation of universalisation in urban theories as an expression of Eurocentrism. Decolonial and postcolonial scholars risk rejecting general theorising in the name of particularism, difference, and the fragmentary character of the world and reducing every urban policy transmission to the result of colonial relations. On the contrary, it would be more productive for radical scholars to pay attention to common pathways and universalist aspirations of anti-capitalist urban struggles. This paper traces the connections between three experiences of self-managed habitat production, developed by grassroots movements in Latin America and Europe. The comparative case study enables discussion of universalising aspirations of struggles against capitalist urban development. The paper concludes that collective and solidarity-based self-construction is a universal form of production of space, common to any culture at some point and to some extent, and that the self-managed production of habitat is a potentially universal paradigm for current anti-capitalist urban struggles.

往返政策：住房和自我管理，从欧洲到拉丁美洲再返回

当前激进城市研究和比较城市主义的争论部分集中在谴责城市理论中的普遍化作为欧洲中心主义的表达。非殖民和后殖民学者冒着以特殊主义、差异和世界的碎片性为名拒绝一般理论的风险，并将每一个城市政策的传导都归结为殖民关系的结果。相反，激进学者关注反资本主义城市斗争的共同路径和普遍主义愿望会更有成效。本文追溯了拉丁美洲和欧洲草根运动发展起来的三种自我管理栖息地生产经验之间的联系。比较案例研究可以讨论反对资本主义城市发展的普遍愿望。本文的结论是，基于集体和团结的自我建设是一种普遍的空间生产形式，在某些时候和某种程度上对任何文化来说都是共同的，而自我管理的栖息地生产是当前反社会的潜在普遍范式。 -资本主义城市斗争。
