Description
Summary:The library has come to represent much more than a building as the discourse surrounding it touches on city planning, small town America, class, government services, and education. [...]recently, the location was between two sites, one in the town's "downtown" (as much as a small town can have a downtown) and the other near the interstate where most of the commercial real estate and the high school is located. In reaction to the current economic crisis Soja writes, There is little doubt that the crash of 2008 marked a crucial turning point in these restructuring processes and that new directions of change are likely to be set in motion, but what we have learned from the application [italics added] of a critical spatial perspective has the potential for stimulating continuing innovation and perhaps unexpected breakthroughs in the search for greater social and spatial justice.
