<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(40, 40, 40); ">Human geographers have long stressed the dynamic nature of space. More than a mere container of processes, space is always co-produced by those processes.
It is a “relational” space “folded” into social relations. Space possesses a heterogeneous nature, at the same time symbolic (“spatial representations”), pragmatic (“spatial practices”) and physical (“spatial materiality”). What’s more, the social production
of space is always an open process, only temporarily stabilizable.</span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; color: rgb(40, 40, 40); "><o:p></o:p></span></div>

transforming spatial relations. Social actors mobilize those sociotechnical objects within socio-spatial controversies - that is, conflicts about the legitimate use, representation or materiality of a space. Within those conflicts, competing actors may (and
do) attempt to circulate spatial representations, regulate social practices or to modify the physicality of space through sociotechnical objects. This is most evident in urban contexts, where the broad range of users and institutions involved in its continuous
production entail a high potential friction. Yet this is also true at other scales, from households to nation-states.</span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; color: rgb(40, 40, 40); "><o:p></o:p></span></div>
