The planetary urbanization process recently (re)emerged as one of the great narratives in the field of urban and regional studies, intensified contemporary recovery of Henri Lefebvres ouvre but, at the sime time, still has limited dialogue with some of the classical formulations on the urban and the extended urbanization process. This dissertation critically review urban and urbanization theories (and practices), classical and contemporaneous, drawing from Henri Lefebvres urban and Monte-Mórs lefebvrian theorization of extended urbanization process. The argument departs from the debate over the origins of cities and agglomerations through the narratives of Lewis Mumford, Jane Jacobs and Ed Soja passing through the central role of space and spatial imaginary. Further on, we present the contemporaneous formulations enfasizing the work of Neil Brenner and Christian Schmid. We highlight their conceptions on the urban, urbanization and critical social theory and its role before instrumentalizations and discourses on the city. Finally, we set up a dialogue between classical and contemporaneous formulations. From this articulation derives the critique of contemporaneous formulations and, ultimately, an urban prospective grounded on the possible, on the emerging emancipatory possibilities that do not lose sight of immediate obstacles, that point towards difference, simultaneity and encounter
