  The emergence of higher spin fields in the Kac-Moody theoretic approach to
M-theory is studied. This is based on work done by Schnakenburg, West and the
second author. We then study the relation of higher spin fields in this
approach to other results in different constructions of higher spin field
dynamics. Of particular interest is the construction of space-time in the
present set-up and we comment on the various existing proposals.
