Justice and the City (book)

"Justice and the City," written by scholar Edward Soja, explores the relationship between urban spaces and social justice. It examines how cities influence ideas of justice, equality, and community. Soja argues that spatial dimensions—like neighborhoods, public spaces, and architecture—impact people's experiences and access to resources, shaping social dynamics and inequalities. The book calls for an understanding of justice that considers urban design and planning, advocating for more equitable cities where all residents can thrive. Through this lens, Soja investigates the role of urban spaces in fostering or hindering social justice movements.
