Abstract

‘Neil Smith was – and always will be - a magnificent intellectual giant of geography, urban studies and social science. He was a tremendously warm, unassuming, funny and mischievous person, who gave generously of his time and brilliance to nurture and encourage emerging scholars…So many people I know have devoted their lives to geographical/urban scholarship and activism because Neil's writings – passionate, honest, pure and truly beautiful – opened their eyes to new ways of interpreting the world, and more importantly, helped them think about how to change it… His speaking performances were always completely inspirational – electrifying, exhilarating, energising. His death, far too young, is a terrible loss for all those committed to a more peaceful, humane, socially just world – to the possibility of another world….’ (Tom Slater)1
