Writing Spaces examines and compares discourses of architecture, urbanism and the built environment between 1960 and 2000, a period in which economies and cultures in the world became ever more interdependent; in which technologies revolutionised production and communications, and when the social and spatial organisation of built environments and cities were massively transformed.

As a response to these developments, social theory has been recast, arguing that space is the medium of social change and hence political struggle.
