The paper focuses on the transformation of the Angolan and Mozambican capital cities with regards to the neoliberal context, taking into account local socio-spatial legacies. Following the theoretical conception of the production of space and the right to the city, as discussed by Lefebvre, our purpose is to reflect on the urban strategies, policies and practices of the last decades and to present its main impacts, stressing counter-actions. We conclude that neoliberal dynamics tend to perpetuate forms of spatial fragmentation and social exclusion, while local resistances are a path for more inclusive approaches inspired by the right to the city
