Language spaces
Language has always shaped space. Dialect played a prominent role in this until two generations ago.
Travel through space
Space is constantly changing. People change space and space influences people’s lives. This is true for every region, every city and every village. Looking at space in the past helps us to better understand and help shape the development of space in our time.
For example: the state has a construction company build a motorway. Not only the landscape changes, but so does the traffic flow. Industrial estates are built and companies settle there. The people living near the motorway must now learn to live with the advantages and disadvantages of this construction.
