The hospitable city: social relations in commercial spaces
David Bell
School of Geography, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, UK, d.j.bell{at}leeds.ac.uk
Recent theoretical discussions of the ‘spaces of hospitality’ have remained largely abstract, and have also ignored the commercial hospitality industry. At the same time, commercial hospitality is becoming increasingly important for the branding and promoting of cities. This paper highlights the connection between urban regeneration, commercial food and drink spaces, and the idea of the ‘hospitable city’ as it is conceived in both theoretical writings and in accounts of urban regeneration. The paper highlights the work of hospitality in the commercial sector, but also argues that commercial hospitality should not be seen as merely calculative, instrumental, economic exchange.
Key Words: commercial spaces • food and drink • hospitality • urban regeneration
