Secondspace

Conceived space, secondspace, also described as representations of space, is the domain in which the meanings or ways of imagining space are identified and discursively set 'via control over knowledge, signs and codes' (1 996, p 67).

Whereas Soja, looking at the history of spatial thinking, assigns secondspace epistemologies to the subjective imaginaries of the creative artist, the artful architect, the utopian urbanist and the philosophical geographer, among others, when turning to entrepreneurial cities one thinks of the 'urban spin-doctoring' figuring so prominently in the literature of urban entrepreneurialism.

Tourists visit this place because of what it signifies, which is the secondspace.
