Description :
The paper argues that both the physical material of the environment as well as the social imagination of the environment are important actors in the production of urban space. The paper shows how toxic smelter smoke and the complex social imagination of that smoke shape the contours of urban space. The production of smelter smoke presents a complex set of opportunities and challenges for the continuing development of the urban landscape. Material nature matters in the everyday urban experiences of life in this postindustrial city.
