Understanding the socio‐technical hybridisation of indoor–outdoor relations: Emergent, merged, and stretched

Area, Volume 53, Issue 4, Page 627-636, December 2021., 2021
The paper compares purpose‐built indoor recreational spaces located in the city region of Greater Manchester that recreate outdoor activities of skydiving, skiing, and ice wall climbing. We construct a framework of three modes of hybridisation – emergent, merged, stretched – that contributes a deeper understanding of the diversity, intensity, and ...
