The city, with its physical forms and social relationships, forms a structure – a system that serves its inhabitants. It is a place that gives people the ability to create formal and informal spaces, further adjusts and re-develops based on the inhabitants’ needs. It can be described as part of ‘a social process’ (Tonkiss, 2013, p. 1) in which the relationship between ‘the past, present, and the possible cannot be separated.’ (Lefebvre, 1996, p. 148).
