In the context of increasing division and segregation in cities
across the world, along with pressing concerns around austerity,
environmental degradation, homelessness, violence, and refugees,
this book pursues a multidisciplinary approach to spatial justice
in the city. Spatial justice has been central to urban theorists in
various ways. Intimately connected to social justice, it is a term
implicated in relations of power which concern the spatial
distribution of resources, rights and materials. Arguably there can
be no notion of social justice that is not spatial.
Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos has argued that spatial justice is the
struggle of various bodies - human, natural, non-organic,
technological - to occupy a certain space at a certain time. As
such, urban planning and policy interventions are always, to some
extent at least, about spatial justice. And, as cities become ever
more unequal, it is crucial that urbanists address questions of
spatial justice in the city. To this end, this book considers these
questions from a range of disciplinary perspectives. Crossing law,
sociology, history, cultural studies, and geography, the book's
overarching concern with how to think spatial justice in the city
brings a fresh perspective to issues that have concerned urbanists
for several decades. The inclusion of empirical work in London
brings the political, social, and cultural aspects of spatial
justice to life. The book will be of interest to academics and
students in the field of urban studies, sociology, geography,
planning, space law, and cultural studies.
