Space and Power

Space is configured by power and is a resource for power—and in so much as people live their lives in space, one must be alert to the effects that space has on those lives. This section focuses on the tools used by policy-makers, activists and others to restrict or increase access to space, and asks whose bodies, needs and desires are accommodated or excluded as a result. Analyses span from the global scale of international migration and border enforcement to the scale of cities, neighbourhoods, and intra-household relations.
