Urban Interstices

Bringing together a team of international scholars with an interest in urban transformations spatial justice and territoriality this volume questions how the interstice is related to the emerging processes of partitioning enclave-making and zoning showing how in-between spaces are intimately related to larger flows networks territories and boundaries. Illustrated with a range of case studies from places such as the US Quebec the UK Italy Gaza Iraq India and South-east Asia the volume analyses the place and function of interstitial locales in both a 'disciplined' urban space and a disordered space conceptualized through the notions of 'excess' 'danger' and 'threat'.
