ABSTRACT
In many ways, the latter part of this chapter has brought us back to a recurrent theme within this book, which has looked at the way in which spaces are constantly appropriated by dominant groups. This might include the claiming of indigenous homelands in the case of imperial colonisers; or the dominance of one particular nation (e.g. America) in media and cyberspace; the way in which tourists set up enclavic spaces within a destination or ‘hijack’ local resources and facilities; or the way in which planners gentrify urban space. Once again, the concept of power is unavoidable in such discussions of spatial superiority.
