This section is to review literature, a moment to see what everyone else is talking about out there, in the past through a history of conversations before finally leading up to the scholars today who I hopefully will be in conversation with. I will also include a list of people I like.

This research is founded on the urban ecology of arts collectives, specifically investigating the spatial influence, cultural urban development through time and the participation ‘oppositional placemaking’, where local actors actively shape spaces in and for their neighbourhoods.
