Lefebvrian Triad

The Lefebvrian Triad is a framework introduced by geographer David Harvey to understand urban spaces, consisting of three interconnected elements: the physical space (the actual buildings and streets), social space (the relationships and communities within the city), and representations of space (maps, plans, and images that depict or influence perception). This triad highlights how urban environments are shaped not just by their physical design, but also by social interactions and ideas or narratives that influence how we see and experience the city. Together, these elements shape the dynamic and complex nature of urban life.
