Mind the gaps! A research agenda for urban interstices
本文梳理了关于城市间隙空间的零散文献，提出一个围绕四个主题的研究议程：间隙空间的多尺度分析、其待定性质、计划或非计划特征以及关系属性，并以智利圣地亚哥大都市区为例说明。
Processes of urbanisation can hardly be considered without reference to the spaces that lie between developments. However, the literature on such interstitial spaces is fragmentary. In this paper we draw together insights from the extant literature into a research agenda on urban interstices. We propose a research agenda centred on four themes: the multiple geographic scales at which the interstitial spaces of urban sprawl might be analysed; the pending nature of such spaces; their planned or unplanned character and their relational properties. We develop these themes, briefly illustrating them with reference to the case of metropolitan area of Santiago de Chile. In conclusion, we emphasise some of the implications of interstitial spaces for theories of urban politics and their value in forcing inter-disciplinarity in urban studies.
