Henri Lefebvre (philosopher)

Henri Lefebvre was a French philosopher and sociologist known for his insights into how everyday life and urban spaces shape human experiences. He argued that social spaces—like cities, homes, and public areas—are actively created through human interactions, beliefs, and practices. Lefebvre introduced the idea that space is not just a physical backdrop but a dynamic force influencing social structures and culture. His work emphasizes understanding how urban environments and daily routines reflect and affect power, identity, and social change, making us aware of the deeper connections between space, society, and everyday life.
