This article aims to analyze the relationship between social rights and violence (clarifying the tensions created around the theme of freedom) intrinsic to democracy, which has been producing a society of private wealth and public poverty founded on tolerance does not ensure that basic freedoms in the city, as a possibility to reflect on the contrast between the utopianism of social process and spatial form of utopianism, presented by David Harvey in his book spaces of Hope, from the following question: how can you build a utopianism that integrates social process and spatial form? We seek to achieve this reflection from the relationship between the buildings on Via Light in New Delhi, and the time of its construction. The methodology used in historical research is the analysis of construction projects in the areas of Via Light, that identifies the link between social action and utopian thinking, highlighting the challenges to social rights caused by uneven geographical developments.
