Thinking
Spatial
Practices
Across various disciplines, a resurgent interest in
questions of spatial justice is prompted by a diverse
range of developments such as the Arab Spring and
occupy movements, drone warfare, the criminalisation of
squatting in Europe, restriction of the uses of public
space under securitisation, surveillance and disciplinary
architecture, the housing crisis in the UK and elsewhere.
