“An idea of urban space as defined by a syntagmatic chain of difference. Rural or urban or local or cosmopolitan are not temporally distinct states of being in which one evolves into another, but rather are produced in relation to each other within the same social field.”
“Successive regimes of capital destroy and rebuild infrastructures, reconfiguring space in their own image.”
“Urban space is made up of layers of networks connected by infrastructures.”
“Urban possibilities are formed out of the unintended juxtapositions of different sets present in urban space.”
