Professor Les Back of Goldsmiths College, London looks at the racial geography of the city. Gayle Lewis described London as "a checkerboard of go and no go areas"
Back used the idea of places that people considered safe an unsafe in his Deptford study entitled; Finding a way home. Back empowered the participants of that project by hading out disposable camera's and asking the participants to photograph areas they considered to be safe or unsafe.
Public places like libraries and interim spaces were often considered to be safe whereas wide open areas, playgrounds, and dark areas were often considered to be dangerous.
An interesting result of the project was that when asked what kind of places people considered safe participants often replied by projecting themselves into different spaces 'a home from home.
