Relevance to Geoffrey's Research
Harvey is fundamental to Geoffrey's capitalism, urbanization & gentrification and neoliberalism & architecture areas: his theory of capital switching, the "spatial fix," accumulation by dispossession, and the manufacture of daily life explains the icon economy, gentrification, and the financialized built environment (cf. Bismarck, Goudsmit, Brummet & Reed).
