The Shared Space

Milton Santos critiques existing theories of urbanization and spatial organization in underdeveloped countries, arguing that they fall short in addressing the complexities of these regions. Originally published in 1979, the book offers a compelling analysis that challenges prevailing narratives, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of spatial dynamics. This work is a translation of Santos's earlier text, L'Espace Partagé, and remains relevant in discussions of urban studies and geography.
