Manuel Castells argued that there was a change in the flow of places over time, saying we have gone from "spaces of places" to "spaces of flows." Define these two terms, and provide one example of each.

What will be an ideal response?


Correct answer varies but should include a definition of spaces of places as settings that have well-defined borders and can limit flows across borders, have solidity, and are long-lasting, such as walled cities in the Middle Ages, to spaces of flows, which do not have clear, defensible borders and have fluidity. An example is an airport. Other examples are fast-food restaurants and shopping malls.
