The notions of distance and boundaries are important in any sociology of space. Social distance is a phenomenon of particular significance for Simmel. As Donald Levine has commented,

nearly all of the social processes and social types treated by Simmel may be readily understood in terms of social distance. Domination and subordination, the aristocrat and the bourgeois, have to do with relations defined in terms of ‘above’ and ‘below’. Secrecy, arbitration, the poor person, and the stranger are some of the topics related to the inside-outside dimension.26
