Abstract:

An important factor in  restricting access is spatial networks. The imagery of the city is one of a  network. Depending on actors’ location in spatial  networks, they have spatial capital. We offer a formal model. Actors’ advantage  is based on their having access to certain resource that are place based, e.g.,  elementary school, shopping malls, parks, etc.
