This book addresses the social, functional and symbolic dimensions
of urban space in today's world. The twelve essays range from a
conceptual framing of the issues to case descriptions, rich with
illustrations. Together they provide a thorough exploration of the
nature and significance of social space and particular aspects of
its distribution in today's urban spaces and the various factors
that are competing for it. The book addresses a topic that is
intrinsically interdisciplinary. Questions of space are examined
from a rich variety of perspectives from urban planning to
political philosophy, shedding some light on this shadowy process.
Some of the issues addressed include the dichotomies of public and
private space, discussion of rights and duties regarding the use of
space, and conflicts over its allocation. Well-reasoned and lively
discussions are offered from the perspective of basic values and
rights. The recognition of the specifics of (minority community)
identity as an institutional policy is raised in opposition to
"abstract distributive accounts of justice" - economic pressures by
developers and would-be gentrifiers.
