Complex spaces can be distinguished as: 1. Isotopias -- analogous places. 2. Heterotopias -- contrasting places, prohibited places(?). 3. Utopias -- no place, the absolute, symbolic, imaginary. See also Foucault for heterotopias (Foucault 1984). |

| "Foucault's heterotopia is centered upon a representational approach to space, and generates a dichotomous urban epistemology structured along polarizations such as center-periphery and elites-community. Foucault's heterotopia is consequently possibly conducive to a topdown dialectic [...] Lefebvre's notion of heterotopia, on the contrary, is un-representational, and proposes a dialectical vision of space as a canvas for social change. From a spatial point of view, Lefebvre's heterotopia focuses upon places where economic exchange is neglected, rather than allowed/denied, thus creating the conditions for re-imagining a collectively meaningful notion of urban habitat. In Lefebvre's view, heterotopies are created by practices: they flourish spontaneously from collective action, and express a romantic idea of urban revolution. The debate on the re-appropriation of the right to the city that follows a bottom-up approach originates from the Lefebvrian perspective, and is linked to the promotion of democratic civism and to the recovery of practices of citizenship" | |
| Interpret Foucault's heterotopia as "a portion of an autonomous, centripetal territory, separated from the rest of the world, a space that lives for itself and which is closed in itself [...] spaces that question existing relations and create a moment of displacement, disconnection from an existing social, cultural and aesthetic order [it] connects to the hyper-economization of all aspects of social life as determined by the global prevalence of the neoliberal paradigm" |
