Space and place

Yi-Fu Tuan's 'Space and Place' explores the fundamental differences between these two concepts in human experience.

Space, in its abstract form, is transformed into place through human interaction, attachment, and meaning.

The book examines how our emotions, memories, and cultural values shape our perception and understanding of the environment.

Tuan discusses how places become centers of meaning and identity, providing a sense of belonging and security.

He investigates various aspects of place, including home, community, and landscape, highlighting their significance in shaping human lives and cultures.
