This paper examines the writings of Georg Simmel for their consideration of space and spatiality in the context of the modern metropolis. It argues that questions of space not only are central to much of Simmel's understanding of the city, but also offer many insights into the formulation of social space as currently being debated in multidisciplinary studies today. In Simmel, a treatment of methodological procedure, size, number, density, exclusivity, boundaries, fixity, distance and movement in space is developed into a conception of space as being beyond the physical, and into a consideration of such things as epistemology, metaphysics, oscillating scales, visibility and experience. Space is shown to be a pervasive entity, embedded in the continual reproduction of society and cities
