Abstract
Abstract This paper examines the historical relationship between state, labour and capital through analysing the process of production of urban space. Cities in global South are the domain for constant contestation which emerges as a result of conflict between the spatial actors. These actors deploy space to engage with the urban processes of growth, development or work and employment. This contributes to two most important point in the debate relating to classical economic geographers and labour geographers: firstly, labour does not plays a passive role in production of space, rather actively produces space through its activities which are spatially embedded and secondly, to analyse the ways in which labour engages with the production of space, it is important to study their everyday lived experiences and the manners in which it encounters representational space. The ways of conceptualising/theorising labour's agency vary with the scale, spatial embeddedness and the historicity, hence making it crucial for geographers to understand the nuances of labouring practices in cities of global South.
