%X As China undergoes rapid industrialization and urbanization, haze has become a serious environmental problem, which has brought about some significant changes to the urban space. By examining the changes to the space in haze city using a social¨Ccultural approach, the article suggests a triadic conception of spatial practice in a haze city and analyzes its three component factors: risk experience, stress behavior, and resistant discourse. People¡¯s risk experience in haze space has led to a behavioral tendency toward isolation or escape and resulted in the creation of an ironic folk humor culture as a discourse of resistance. The author believes that people¡¯s spatial practice in haze city has been exerting increasing pressures on the Chinese authorities, urging them to take measures to improve the environment
