Power and space are closely interconnected concepts in social geography. Space is not merely a physical area or geographical location; it is socially produced, organized, and influenced by relations of power. Power refers to the ability of individuals, groups, institutions, or states to influence decisions, control resources, shape social relations, and determine how spaces are organized and used. The interaction between power and space helps explain inequalities, territorial control, social exclusion, and the organization of societies. The concept of power in geography extends beyond political authority. It includes economic, social, cultural, and ideological power. Governments exercise power by defining national boundaries, establishing administrative regions, constructing infrastructure, and regulating land use. Corporations influence space through investment, industrial location, commercial development, and urban expansion. Social groups exercise power by shaping cultural landscapes, controlling neighbourhoods, and influencing public spaces. Thus, every space reflects the interests and influence of different actors. French philosopher Michel Foucault argued that power is not concentrated only in the hands of governments but is dispersed throughout society. Schools, hospitals, prisons, workplaces, and religious institutions all create spaces where rules, surveillance, and discipline operate. These institutions organize human behaviour through spatial arrangements, demonstrating that space itself becomes a medium through which power is exercised. Henri Lefebvre introduced the idea that space is socially produced rather than naturally given. According to him, economic systems, political institutions, and cultural practices continuously create and transform spaces. Urban
