ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the geographical scales at which the interstitial spaces are manifested: (a) proximity, (b) transition, (c) regional, and (d) remoteness. As such, the interstitial spaces present a transcalar nature that ranges from their liminal condition as narrow spaces between neighbourhoods, up to large spaces that separate entire cities and regions. International examples of each scale and the transcalar nature of interstitial spaces are presented. The notion of ‘scale’ has spatial, functional, and political dimensions that cover a wide range of local and regional processes of urbanisation, with implications in terms of governance and the way of how the interstitial spaces and cities build a mutual relation of influence.
