From Sociofugal Grids to Sociopetal grounds: Third places as tools for rehumanising the industrial landscape
From Sociofugal Grids to Sociopetal Grounds explores how industrial towns, shaped by rigid zoning and mechanised planning, often foster spatial alienation and social disconnection. Through theories of sociopetality, placemaking, and third places, it investigates how neglected urban spaces can be transformed into inclusive environments that nurture interaction, belonging, and collective life.
