ABSTRACT
Since the outbreak of the Greek debt crisis, access to energy and especially to heating has become a major social problem in Greek cities. Theoretical and empirical analysis on energy deprivation in Greek cities does not cover the socio-spatial dimensions of the phenomenon in various scales, nor the way spatial particularities are interrelated with households’ energy vulnerability. In an attempt to contribute to the relevant discussion, in this chapter, we investigate how the particularities of urban space are producing and reproducing energy deprivation as well as highlight the significance of energy deprivation as an analytical tool for the study of urban space.
