Abstract

Abstract

The article deals with the relationship between Right to the City and Right to Happiness, starting from theoretical constructions to develop empirical analysis by quantitative, qualitative and deductive methods, through indicators (Human Development Index - HDI / Human Development Index Municipal - IDHM), which are compared with bibliographical survey, which measure the implementation of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ESCR) in urban space, in order to verify the degree of human development of municipalities taken as sampling and their relation with the average Development. Along with this analysis, important considerations are drawn in the relationships between ESCR, development, happiness and freedom, to indicate empirically that there is an intrinsic but variable relationship between human development and realization of ESCR in urban space, whose goal is the enjoyment of resources and assets of a dignified life in this context. However, because it is a changing relationship, not always economic growth will necessarily matter in adequate human development and happiness, especially when theoretical and empirical presupposition are elements such as empowerment (choice freedom and ability to make transformations viable), democracy and inequality. In this bias, State / Society coalition is determinant and active as protagonists of the process of adequate human development.
