Spatial Cultures

This collection confronts the recurrent epistemological impasse that arises between research which focusses on the description of material built environments and that which is concerned primarily with the people who inhabit, govern and write about cities past and present. Drawing on a wide range of historical and contemporary urban case studies, as well as a selection of theoretical and methodological reflections, the contributions to this volume seek to historically, geographically and architecturally contextualize diverse spatial practices including movement, encounter, play, procession and neighbourhood.
