This ethnographic exploration of contemporary spaces of
homelessness takes an expanded view of homeless space, threading
together experiences of organizational spaces, routes taken through
the city and the occupation of public space. Through engaging with
participants' accounts of movement and place, the book argues that
young homeless people become fixed in mobility, a condition that
impacts on both everyday life and possible futures. Based on an
innovative multi-method study of a day centre in London for young
homeless people, the book contextualizes spaces of homelessness
within the social relations and flows of people that produce the
world city. The book considers how the biographical and everyday
trajectories of young homeless people intersect with place
attachments and forms of governance to produce urban homeless
spaces. It provides a new angle on the city made by movement,
foregrounding the impact of mobilities shaped by loss, violence and
the search for opportunity. The book draws on mental maps,
photography, interviews and observation in order to produce an
engaging and rich ethnographic account of young homeless people in
the city.
