This book investigates the sociohistorical making of place and
people in Copenhagen from around 1900 to the present day. Drawing
inspiration from Pierre Bourdieu's sociology of social space and
symbolic power, and from Loic Wacquant's hypothesis of advanced
marginality and territorial stigmatisation, the book explores the
genesis and development of the notorious neighbourhood of
Copenhagen North West. As an extraordinary place, the North West
provides an illustrative case of Danish welfare and urban history
that questions the epitome on inclusive Copenhagen. Through
detailed empirical analysis, the book spotlights three angles and
entanglements of the social history of this area of Copenhagen: the
production of socio-spatial constructions and authoritative
categorisations of the neighbourhood, especially by the state and
the media; the local social pedagogical interventions and symbolic
boundary drawings by welfare agencies in the neighbourhood; and the
residents' subjective experiences of place, social divisions and
(dis)honour. In this way, The Making of Place and People in the
Danish Metropolis analyses how social, symbolical, and spatial
structures dynamically intertwine and contribute to the fashioning
of divisions of inequality and marginality in the city over the
course of some 125 years. It will appeal to scholars of sociology,
urban studies, and urban history, with interests in social welfare.
