space of flows
Definition
- The space of flows is a term coined by the sociologist and urban planner Manuel Castells to describe the geographies of the globalized postindustrial informational societies that emerged in the late 20th century, in which productivity is derived primarily from knowledge and information. Concomitant with this transformation, social scientists have searched for new frames of reference to make sense of the emerging geographies of centrality and peripherality unleashed by flexible globalization.
