I really enjoyed this interview with Owen Flanagan (about his book, What is it Like to be an Addict), where he touches on some of those questions:

No idea whether this fits the bill (and it's a book, not an article). But would Quill Kukla's City Living be of interest? (Not historiography but ethography, with a strong focus on people occupying and using spaces):
