Whose City? A study of the colonisation of the

 city and the emancipation of urban space.

James Moulding

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the applicability of utilizing Jurgen Habermas's Colonisation Thesis as a tool for analysing urban space and exploring problems within the contemporary city. In the first part the paper outlines the importance of focusing our attentions upon the city and constructing a conceptual framework! for understanding urban space. The work then outlines the theoretical framework of Habermas's Colonisation Thesis before an attempt to transpose this onto our understanding of urban space. The thesis concludes on an exploration of decolonisation and sociospatial change through both situationist theory and the lived experience of urban revolution uniting theory and practice.
