“…In a similar vein, Siebert et al (2017, p. 1607) investigates ‘the role of organizational space’ in institutional processes by turning to the organizational space literature and applying the theoretical framework developed by Dale and Burrell (2008). Other examples include invoking concepts related to ‘spirit of place’ and ‘genius loci’ from the literature in architecture and urban studies (Colombero and Boxenbaum, 2019), concepts of ‘anonymous subspaces’ and ‘non‐places’ from the anthropology literature (Deroy and Clegg, 2012, p. 355), and concepts associated with agrarian ideology, regional development and location from the literature in sociology and economic geography (e.g., Faulconbridge and Muzio, 2016; Marquis and Lounsbury, 2007).…”

“…Regardless of whether engagement with specialist literatures on place and space is deep or shallow, our analysis highlighted a distinctive characteristic of the mutually constituted perspective. In general, place and space are understood to be shaped by social processes of human experiences at micro levels (Deroy and Clegg, 2012; Howard‐Grenville et al, 2013; Lawrence and Dover, 2015) interacting with societal structures and systems at macro levels (Lounsbury, 2007; Marquis and Huang, 2009) That is, people have ‘lived experiences’ of ‘inhabited’ institutions within and across organizations (DeJordy et al, 2020, p. 933) and inside and outside of specific places and spaces (Deroy and Clegg, 2012; Lawrence and Dover, 2015; Siebert et al, 2017; Wright et al, 2021) and may contest ‘the legitimacy of their existence in the geographical space they … inhabit’ (Sadeh and Zilber, 2019, p. 1417). This theoretical framing sets up an interdependent relationship between place and space and organizational and institutional change such that the direction of influence flows both ways.…”

We present a systematic review of empirical articles investigating the role of place and space within the organizational and institutional change literature. In taking stock of the change literature, our aim is to better understand the nature and degree of scholarly engagement with concepts associated with place and space to inform a future research agenda. Our systematic review identified 290 empirical articles published between 1979 and 2020 that attended to organizational or institutional change and also engaged with space or place. Our analysis generated four archetypal perspectives that represent qualitatively different ways of viewing the role of place and space in how organizations and institutions change: functional perspective, situated perspective, experiential perspective, and mutually constituted perspective. We synthesize the four perspectives into a typology that reveals different levels of attention to change as process and to place and space as lived or physical phenomena, and cast light on different assumptions about the relationships between change and place or space that can guide future research.

“…In other cases, events have been used to address a lack of meaning. The Committee responsible for managing the Champs-Élysées in Paris introduced new events to address the banalisation of the street: providing “highly signified sense making against the unstructured flow of nothing” (Deroy and Clegg, 2012, p. 370).…”

PurposeThere are two main aims of this conceptual paper. The first is to explore the issues associated with staging events in public spaces, and to produce a typology of different event spaces. The second is to explore if and how events should be designed into parks, streets and squares and whether this might reduce some of the negative impacts and associated user conflicts.Design/methodology/approachThe paper analyses the history, drivers and effects of using public spaces as venues and examines the reciprocal relationships between events and the spaces that host them. To explain the range and dynamics of contemporary events, a typology of event spaces is developed. This typology highlights nine different types of event spaces which are differentiated by the level of public accessibility (free entry, sometimes free, paid entry), and the mobility of event audiences (static, limited mobility, mobile). Using this typology, the paper discusses ways that public spaces might be adapted to make them better suited to staging events. This discussion is illustrated by a range of examples.FindingsThe paper finds that it makes practical sense to adapt some urban public spaces to make them better equipped as venues, but designing in events presents new issues and does not necessarily resolve many of the problems associated with staging events. Disputes over events are inevitable and constituent features of public spaces.Originality/valueThis paper makes an original contribution by developing a new classification of event spaces and by synthesising ideas from urban design with ideas from the events literature.

“…And these experiences may influence the ways public spaces are designed, managed and used in the future. For example, events can demonstrate the ways that streets dominated by traffic can be transformed into sociable meeting places (Deroy and Clegg 2012) or the ways that stiff, monumental squares can be loosened and humanized (Lehtovuori 2010).…”

The long-term implications of mega-event projects for urban public spaces

An emerging theme within the mega-events literature is the ways they affect the provision, regulation and design of urban public spaces. Parks, streets and squares host competition venues, and are also used for supplementary occasions and facilities associated with hosting megaevents. Using examples from the London 2012 Olympic Games and Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, this paper examines the longterm significance of mega-events for urban public spaces. The paper contends that these events can be used as 'Trojan Horses' , allowing new systems to be introduced under the cover of an event. It also emphasizes how temporary mega-events transform public spaces into venues for subsequent commercial events. Finally, the paper acknowledges more positive legacies, showing how mega-events can change how public space is imagined by users and by those responsible for managing it. Both cases highlight how events influence the ways spaces are used, designed and managed.
