ABSTRACT
Henri Lefebvre’s theory of the production of (urban) space, which he developed over a short period from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s, is today widely quoted and the subject of intense debates. Just two decades ago, this theory was regarded as almost inaccessible, extremely dicult to apply and was consequently rarely used for empirical research. Since then, it has experienced widespread reception and application, both in the eld of urban studies as well as in architecture and urban design.
