Abstract

Abstract:
Cities are complex space systems that are directly related to economics, politics, and power. In the process of understanding the urban world, exploring the mechanisms governing cities through the lens of political economy to read the relationships and mechanisms governing cities is of particular importance. Whereas cities can be a center of spatial inequality and deprivation of the right to citizens as well as a center of development. The present study was conducted to identify the mechanisms governing the city of Sanandaj and its citizens. The study field is the city of Sanandaj. This research has used a qualitative method and specifically grounded theory for data analysis and in-depth theoretical sampling with 32 citizens was conducted in-depth interviews. Based on the data collected from the research field, four main deducted, including: The mechanism of malfunctioning of institutions, market policies and capital accumulation, widespread expropriation and deprivation of the right of citizens to the city were established. These categories indicate that in the study area (Sanandaj city) the mechanism of institutional policies and market forces through the expropriation of large property and deprivation of rights to the city from citizens, produces and reproduces a kind of inferiority. Thus, "subordination through expropriation" was concluded as the core of study.
