Abstract
This paper advances a theoretical synthesis aspiring to extend the concept of spatial capital through a better elaboration of its engagement with more-than-human and more-than-city dimensions. It examines how the dialectics of concentrated and extended urbanization can shed further light on understanding how human and more-than-human assemblages take different forms across city as well as more-than-city landscapes, and how these arrangements develop into patterns of social and ecological inequality. Through this investigation, it aims to develop novel theoretical insights on how the organization of spatial environments enables the variegated production and unequal appropriation of social and ecological values.
