Time–space compression

Time–space compression (also known as space–time compression and time–space distantiation), first articulated in 1989 by geographer David Harvey in The Condition of Postmodernity, refers to any phenomenon that alters the qualities of and relationship between space and time. A similar idea was proposed by Elmar Alvater in an article in PROKLA in 1987 translated into English as "Ecological and Economic Modalities of Time and Space" and published in Capitalism Nature Socialism, 1(3) in 1989.
