Spatial justice

From Geography

The concept of spatial justice emphasizes the necessity to add a spatial perspective to the understanding of social justice. The term has only recently emerged in the scientific debate and addresses all scales of geography, in theory ánd practice.

"Thinking spatially about justice not only enriches our theoretical understanding, it can uncover significant new insights that extend our practical knowledge into more effective actions to achieve greater justice and democracy." (The city and spatial justice, Soja, E.,2008)
