The diversion and reappropriation of space are of great significance, for they teach us much about the production of new spaces. During a period as difficult as the present one is for a (capitalist) mode of production which is threatened with extinction yet struggling to win a new lease on life (through the reproduction of the means of production), it may even be that such techniques of diversion have greater import than attempts at creation (production). (Lefebvre 167-8)

Reappropriation becomes vital to inquiries about spatial practice. The re-use of space and spaces could be more important than the original production of such spaces.
