Description

Heterotopia and the City explores Foucault's influential concept of 'other place' and its application to contemporary urban spaces. This Routledge publication clarifies the theoretical framework that has shaped architectural and urban design discourse since the late 1960s, examining how heterotopias manifest in museums, theme parks, shopping malls, holiday resorts and gated communities. The book addresses the persistent confusion surrounding this multifaceted concept, which describes spaces existing on the margins of civil society with fragmented or incompatible meanings. Ideal for urban planners, architects, social scientists and students studying the intersection of spatial theory and modern city development, this work provides essential insights into understanding public space in postcivil society and the complex role marginal spaces play in shaping urban environments.
