Urban space holds immense significance within the political realm, serving as a focal point for individuals to gather, engage in deliberations, and foster interactions with one another. In periods of widespread public dissent, people frequently seek out urban environments to express their grievances and advocate for change, employing diverse strategies with varying degrees of success. This book presents a theoretical framework for analyzing city spaces, drawing upon insights from political science, urban planning, and sociology. Hansen's approach involves mapping the intricate causal relationships between spatial elements, the political environment, and their collective impact on protests. This mapping is applied to three case studies: Kyiv, Minsk, and Moscow. In addition to the spatial perspective model, Urban Protest offers novel insights into the dynamics of spatial interactions and showcases how geography can shape limitations and opportunities in diverse ways.
