Edensor's Concepts of Place

Edensor's concepts of place explore how physical environments, social interactions, memories, and cultural meanings shape our experience of a location. He emphasizes that places are not just physical spaces but dynamic, layered entities created through people's relationships, activities, and histories. Places evolve over time as they are experienced, remembered, and transformed by communities. This perspective helps us understand that places are active, lived-in spaces where social and personal meanings develop, making each place unique and constantly changing rather than static or purely physical locations.
