The book builds a three part genealogy of the theoretical apprehensions of space through a three part narrative of a recently constructed public square, serving as the gateway to Edinburgh s financial quarter, the Exchange. The aim is to re- imagine the ways in which urban public spaces can be understood with reference to their materiality and use or nonuse. This re-imagining aims to move away from all subjective accounts that focus only on varying degrees of use and the use-value of materiality and can lend themselves all to easily to ideals and aspirations of city planners and various scripted political projects. The book argues that of key importance in this re-imagining is to give space a clear role to play in its own apprehension. The book maintains that a strong empirical focus on the relations between materiality and use or non-use, on the most general level, will yield the most productive way of apprehending public spaces in terms of not reducing interactions between its materiality and use or non-use to a scripted theatre of determined functions and their potential subversion.
