This collection examines how space is used to express, maintain, or contest power. From state control and surveillance to geopolitical borders and urban segregation, these works explore space as a political instrument—designed, regulated, and often weaponized to shape behavior, assert dominance, or resist authority in both subtle and overt ways. Through diverse perspectives and historical contexts, the texts investigate how architectural and urban planning decisions reinforce political ideologies, create inequalities, and influence social dynamics. Ultimately, these books reveal the profound implications of spatial design, illustrating how power structures become embedded within our built environments, and how space itself can become a site of resistance, negotiation, and transformation.
