“…Indeed, the leading planning theory book does not mention Lefebvre until its fourth edition (Campbell & Fainstein, 2015) and then only in passing. This is despite one of the first Anglophone articles on Lefebvre and planning being published over two decades ago (Allen & Pryke, 1994) and a steady trickle of publications since then (e.g., Buser, 2012;Carp, 2008;Holgersen, 2015;Honeck, 2017;Leary, 2009). Perhaps this is partly because Lefebvre is regarded by many as a tough read (Schmid, 2014).…”

“…Inspired by these frameworks we construct an analytical tool designed to describe and interpret the multidimensional challenge of sustainable neighbourhood development. This kind of approach is not unique in case studies on processes in urban settings, where, for example Lefebvre's triad is often referred to as a conceptual point of departure, and as an interpretative framework (see for example de Haardt, 2010;Dunn, 2012;Kipfer, Saberi, & Wieditz, 2012;Leary, 2009;Teelucksingh & Masuda, 2014;Watkins, 2005). Without referring to Lefebvre, Davison, Dovey, and Woodcock (2012) lean on Relph's rather similar framework in their analysis of place identity in East London.…”

“…Lefebvre's approach became a platform for much theoretical discussion and empirical research on social conflict in urban space (to name a few examples: Charnock & Ribera‐Fumaz, ; Hillier, ; Jabareen, ; Leary, ; Yacobi, ). However, it also invites criticism relevant to our discussion.…”

The "spatial turn", represented primarily by the Lefebvrean theory of production of space, fails to internalise insights from the "cultural turn" which delves into high cultural resolutions of minority ethnic or religious sub-groups within Western culture. These insights suggest that space may be characterised by spatial pluralism that originates in ontological pluralism of place and space. This ontological pluralism originates in the contemporary reality of cultural pluralism within the same space. By deconstructing the classical Lefebvrean theory of production of space as a super concept into finer scales, we facilitate internalisation of these cultural insights through a series of new sub-concepts of consummate space, spatial imbrication and spatial intensity. These successive concepts are capable of creating a process of production of space with possible political consequences at group level. That is, violation of a space perceived and practised as consummate may lead to political action by group members. This conceptual framework, highlighting at high resolution the agency of space in culture, is demonstrated through a detailed analysis of a unique cultural group, the indigenous Bedouin of the Negev desert in Israel, through three phases of their spatial history over a period of two centuriessemi-nomadic pastoralism, sedentary farming and urban wage labour.This case may serve to illustrate the value of this theoretical approach for future analysis of other unique cultural groups and a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of production of space.

We argue that their limited mutual engagement results in oversight of significant sub-processes that are masked by low resolutions of spatial research. This proposition originates in our study of the spatial relationships between the spaces of the indigenous Bedouin in Israel and the enveloping Western culture. In our interpretation, studying these relationships at high resolutions reveals concealed spatial situations that may produce political outcomes. The issue is related to the interface between the spatial and cultural "turns" of the social sciences. The essence of the "spatial turn" lies in realising the centrality of the built environment in understanding social processes ---
