In the text social exclusion and space, planning theorist ali madanipour (1998) discusses how urban space is organized. Discuss the multiple dimensions of social exclusion and what. Madanipour calls the spatiality of social exclusion. illustrate your discussion by providing examples of barriers to spatial practices as discussed in the text. Using elements from the natural or the built environment has been socially and symbolically employed to put visible and strict limits on our spatial practices: mental space or our perceptions of space. This may be regulated through codes and signs, preventing us from entering some spaces through outright warning or more subtle deterrents. Mental space may also be controlled through our fears or perceptions of activities in a place: e. g. We may hesitate to enter an expensive-looking mall if we don"t have access to the resources needed for the activities there: legal & social control.
