Contributions by urban planners, sociologists, anthropologists,
architects, and landscape architects on the role and scope of urban
design in creating more just and inclusive cities. Scholars who write
about justice and the city rarely consider the practices and processes
of urban design, while discourses on urban design often neglect
concerns about justice. The editors of Just Urban Design take the
position that urban design interventions have direct and important
implications for justice in the city. The contributions in this volume
contextualize the state of knowledge about urban design for justice,
stress inclusivity as the key to justice in the city, affirm community
participation and organizing as cornerstones of greater equity, and
assert that a just urban design must center and privilege our most
marginalized individuals and communities. Approaching spatial and
social justice in the city through the lens of urban design, the
contributors explore the possibility of envisioning and delivering
social, spatial, and environmental justice in cities through urban
design and the material reality of built environment interventions.
The editors’ combined expertise includes urban politics and climate
change, public space, mobility justice, community development,
housing, and informality, and the contributors include researchers and
practitioners from urban planning, sociology, anthropology,
architecture, and landscape architecture. Contributors: Rachel
