The “spaces of difference” concept refers to how space is socially constructed to be different depending on who the individual is in a particular space and how that individual utilizes that space. Ideas about spaces of difference are important to academics, city planners, governments, and nongovernmental agencies in terms of understanding how Western ideologies and social construction processes create and reify inequalities in everyday environments.
