Today's American cities and suburbs are the sites of "thick
injustice"-unjust power relations that are deeply and densely
concentrated as well as opaque and seemingly intractable. Thick
injustice is hard to see, to assign responsibility for, and to
change. Identifying these often invisible and intransigent
problems, this volume addresses foundational questions about what
justice requires in the contemporary metropolis. Essays focus on
inequality within and among cities and suburbs; articulate
principles for planning, redevelopment, and urban political
leadership; and analyze the connection between metropolitan justice
and institutional design. In a world that is progressively more
urbanized, and yet no clearer on issues of fairness and equality,
this book points the way to a metropolis in which social justice
figures prominently in any definition of success. Contributors:
