Oil Spaces explores the profound impact of petroleum on various territories worldwide, shedding light on the unseen ways in which industrially drilled petroleum and its refined products have shaped the built environment. Spanning over a century and a half, petroleum has been a driving force behind industrialization, urbanization, and the sustenance of nation-states. It has fueled lifestyles, shaped visions of progress, modernity, and disaster.
In a series of comprehensive international case studies, the contributors examine the intricate relationship between petroleum and the built environment. They explore how petroleum and its infrastructure have served as a catalyst for military conflicts, political power, and economic dominance, inspiring territorial expansion and geographical reshaping. The authors trace the ruptures and continuities between colonial and postcolonial frameworks, examining diverse locations such as Sumatra, northeast China, Brazil, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Kuwait, as well as heritage sites like former power stations in Italy and the port of Dunkirk, once a vital gateway for petroleum into Europe.
By unveiling petroleum's role in organizing and imagining space globally, this book assumes a crucial role in envisioning a post-oil future. It offers valuable insights to scholars and students of architectural and urban history, planning, and geography of sustainable urban environments.
