42 Power relations are practised in a spatial setting, and these are part of the modes of production. Space is the locus of struggle; it is affected by the politics and is political itself. It is shaped by a historical and spatial means but within a political process. Space is therefore produced and continues to be reproduced according to new modes of production, which include new forms of states and new forms of political powers. 44 Space has a history, with specific characteristics in each specific period of time transformed and reproduced in a different temporal moment.
At certain stages, the politician becomes 22 Colonial urban space the dominant actor in the process and, therefore, what becomes produced visualizes the politics of the time. It is therefore important when analyzing urban space and its development in previous periods to understand the context in which certain spaces were produced.

The founder, Remus, described a circle with his plough, thus subtracting a space from nature and investing it with a political meaning.
It may on occasion invent new codes and impose them, but it is not itself bound by them, and can shift from one to another at will. The state manipulates codes. Power never allows itself to be confined within a single logic. Power has only strategiesand their complexity is in proportion to power’s resources. Similarly, in the case of power, signifier and signified coincide in the shape of violence – and hence death. 85 Thus, in manifesting control over colonized urban space, knowledge is a tool of power and ideology is technically a means.
