Contents:

Why spatial? why justice? Why L.A.? Why now? -- On the production of unjust geographies -- Building a spatial theory of justice -- Seeking spatial justice in Los Angeles -- Translating theory into practice : urban planning at UCLA -- Seeking spatial justice after 9/11 : continuities and conclusions.

Summary: "In Seeking Spatial Justice, Soja argues that justice has a geography and that the equitable distribution of resources, services, and access is a basic human right. Building on current concerns in critical geography and the new spatial consciousness, Soja interweaves theory and practice, offering new ways of understanding and changing the unjust geographies in which we live. Effectively locating spatial justice as a theoretical concept, a mode of empirical analysis, and a strategy for social and political action, this book makes a significant contribution to the contemporary debates about justice, space, and the city." -- Back cover.
