dc.description.abstractIn this thesis the concept of sense of place is taken up to engage in deeper conversations about the processes, emotions and affects that are part of the urban imaginaries we create. It asks what role sense(s) of place(s) can play in forming these imaginations. The aims of the research thus focus on two parts: first, it reflects critically on the theory that exists around sense of place and brings it into conversation with non-Western epistemologies to arrive at sense(s) of place(s) that integrate elements from both contexts. Second, the analysis brings the cases into the discussion to follow where these analyses might take us to consider what urban imaginaries make up the layers of Torontos palimpsest. Along the way it picks up concepts of more-than-human entanglements and sensing practices, relations of reciprocity or care and considerations of displacement as well as attachment in place.
