Description

The People, Place, and Space Reader brings together the writings of scholars, designers, and activists from quite a lot of fields to make sense of the makings and meanings of the world we inhabit. They lend a hand us to be mindful the relationships between people and the environment at all scales, and to believe the active roles individuals, groups, and social structures play in creating the environments in which people live, work, and play. These readings highlight the ways in which space and place are produced through large- and small-scale social, political, and economic practices, and offer new how one can take into accounts how people engage the environment in more than one and diverse ways.

Providing an essential resource for students of urban studies, geography, sociology and plenty of other areas, this book brings together important but, till now, widely dispersed writings across many inter-related disciplines. Introductions from the editors precede every section; introducing the texts, demonstrating their significance, and outlining the key issues surrounding the topic. A companion web page, PeoplePlaceSpace.org, extends the work even further by providing an on-going series of additional reading lists that cover issues ranging from food security to foreclosure, psychiatric spaces to the environments of predator animals.
