Social spaces are at the center of social policy, urban planning, urban sociology, social geography, and social pedagogy debates. The Handbook of Social Space traverses these various disciplinary discourse strands and fundamentally addresses the perspectives on social spaces for the first time. The rise of social space orientation is part of local government strategies, new forms of the spatialization of social inequality, and is therefore described as a process of comprehensive reformation of the social. The Handbook of Social Space serves as the first foundational work providing an overview of the extensive German-speaking social space debate for study, practice, and research, and opens new avenues for its conceptual expansion.
