Spatial Justice in Urban Settings

Spatial justice in urban settings refers to the fair distribution of resources, opportunities, and services across different areas of a city. It focuses on ensuring that all communities, especially marginalized ones, have access to essentials like housing, public transportation, and green spaces. In urban political geography, it examines how political decisions and spatial planning can create or reduce inequalities. Achieving spatial justice means advocating for policies that promote social equity and empower communities to shape their urban environment, ultimately fostering inclusive and sustainable cities.
