The Social Production of Space

The Social Production of Space is a concept that describes how social practices, relationships, and power dynamics influence the way spaces are created and understood. It emphasizes that space is not just a physical area; it is shaped by cultural, economic, and political factors. Communities and their interactions determine how places are organized, experienced, and valued. For example, a park in a city can reflect social priorities, such as community gathering, nature, or recreation. Thus, space is socially constructed through human actions and intentions, impacting our everyday lives and interactions.
