Abstract: We introduce an analogue to the amalgamation of metric spaces into the setting of Lorentzian pre-length spaces. This provides a very general process of constructing new spaces out of old ones. The main application in this work is an analogue of the gluing theorem of Reshetnyak for CAT($k$) spaces, which roughly states that gluing is compatible with upper curvature bounds. We formulate the theorem in terms of (strongly causal) spacetimes viewed as Lorentzian length spaces.
