Critical urban theory has undergone a revolution in the last twenty years, where one dominant characteristic has been the abandonment of certainty implied in structuralist modes of thought congruent with the analysis of capital. Fundamental to this change has been the acceptance of space and its creation. As Isard has noted, social processes do not occur "in a wonderland of no dimension". Post structuralist theory, in deconstructing modernist concepts of place now look to the fragmented disprograms of gender, culture, ethnicity, community, language, and other phenomena. These interpretations take place within an increasing consciousness of the environment and environmental management, which must be considered in order to derive satisfactory explanations of the organisation of space in contemporary urban society.
